Seahawks quick reaction NFL Draft grades: Alton Robinson, Syracuse
It was just a matter of time until Seattle double-dipped on the defensive line. The Seahawks take another uber-athletic defensive end in Alton Robinson.
If there are 3 combine tests that the Seahawks pay closer attention to than any other, it is the vertical, short shuttle and 40-yard dash. Alton Robinson was absolutely phenomenal in all 3. He jumped a 34 inch vertical, the second-best short shuttle for defensive lineman this year at 4.32 seconds and the 3rd fastest 40-yard dash amongst defensive lineman at 4.69 seconds. All 3 of these tests range between the 61st to the 90th percentiles in any given draft year.
