1. EDGE Darius Robinson, Missouri
Darius Robinson may not have had a long and illustrious college career like some of the other players in this year's draft class. However, that doesn't mean he didn't have an incredibly impressive 2023 season worthy of being selected in the second or third round. Not only was he incredibly productive when attacking the passer, but he's also very proficient as a run-stopper as well.
Through 12 games, Robinson racked up 29 tackles, nine sacks, 42 pressures, and a forced fumble. In addition to this, Robinson had an incredibly impressive pass-rush win rate of 17%. My favorite part of Robinson, though, has to be his versatility. While his most productive season came as an edge rusher, he has racked up over 850 snaps as an interior defensive lineman through four seasons.
Robinson's 6-5, 296-pound frame, combined with his athleticism makes him one of the most intriguing players in this year's draft, as there's really no telling what position he'll succeed at in the NFL.
Regardless of where he ends up on the field, the Giants could really benefit from having such a talented and versatile player alongside Kayvon Thibodeaux and Dexter Lawrence. Hopefully, Robinson charts well at the Combine and showcases the traits we've seen that make him worth being drafted.
