POSITIVES

— Pops out of stance with good snap timing and initial quickness.

— Very good length to initiate first meaningful contact while also acting as a failsafe to slow down defenders crossing his face when his feet can't get there in time.

— Explosive and jarring at the point of attack in the run game to create initial displacement on base, drive and overtake blocks.

— Effective and commanding as a puller on gap concepts with the power to kick out and enough quickness to wrap, log and seal.

— Excels using jump sets off play action with the length and grip strength to end the fight quickly.

— Provides a physical and violent presence when uncovered in pass protection to dent and de-cleat adjacent rushers.

NEGATIVES

— Persistently drifts and oversets when being set up with stutters, tempo and hesitations, leaving him vulnerable to losing across his face.

— Late, tardy strike timing results in his hands getting chopped, trapped and pinned to create soft edges and short corners.

— Plays straight-legged with below-average redirect quickness and lower-half twitch.

OVERALL

Layden Robinson is a three-year starter with 33 career starts at right guard, including 11 starts last season inside Texas A&M's 52-48 run-pass split offense centered around a downhill run scheme featuring inside zone, duo, counter and power with some outside zone sprinkled in. Robinson has a high-cut frame, barrel chest with long limbs, adequate athletic ability, very good play strength and power.

Robinson wins as a run-blocker with a combination of girth, length, heavy hands and good snap timing to fire off the ball and deliver jolt at the point on base, drive, overtake and kick-out blocks as a puller. After creating initial displacement, Robinson runs his feet, strains and can steer to finish blocks at a high level in a downhill run scheme. His adequate, middling lateral and redirect quickness leave him tardy and behind gap exchanges and slants, causing him to lose quickly across his face.

In pass protection, Robinson provides a firm, physical presence using jump sets off play action, anchoring against the bull rush, penetrators on basic stunts and delivering body blows when uncovered. This is contrasted with persistently drifting into oversets against stutters, hesitations and tempo with tardy strike timing that leads to soft edges and clean losses across his face.

Overall, Robinson has the size, play strength, power and demeanor to carve out a role and function inside a downhill, vertical run game in the NFL. However, he needs to clean up his set points and strike timing in pass protection to enter a lineup full-time.
