Broncos should look into FSU safety Jammie Robinson to pair with Simmons

The Denver Broncos could be in need of a new safety, as we still don't know if Kareem Jackson will be back, and Caden Sterns and P.J. Locke are not going to be the best options at the positions either, as both are more special teams players.
Justin Simmons, the Broncos All-pro safety, needs a running mate in the deep backfield. He needs a guy that can progressively get better each year, and when developed will be a great all-around player.
The Broncos could get that, even though they don't have a first or second-round pick. In the third round, they could get Florida State safety Jammie Robinson, a guy who could do a little bit of everything. Here is what Pro Football Focus has to say about the projected third-rounder:
Robinson is arguably the most complete safety in the draft class. He’s a solid all-around athlete who’s also a tremendous tackler. He’s an easy projection to the NFL with how many hats he’s worn in his career. Across four seasons as a starter, Robinson played 633 snaps in the box, 759 deep and 1,348 from the slot. Robinson’s ability to bounce left and right with ease is what makes him such an effective tackler. It’s a great skill to have around the line of scrimmage. Robinson is at his best working from the top down. He can break on corners and posts very well from a two-high alignment. Robinson is going to have to overcome his limited wingspan to be effective in the NFL. Getting stronger will definitely help.

If there was a comparison for Robinson, I'd say he is very similar to Jamaal Adams. He lays hits, is okay at coverage, and can definitely improve if he gets put in man. But, when you put him down in the box he can do some crazy things. He has the size and speed to eventually be able to cover tight ends and big receivers in man-to-man.
But, this is a guy that still needs some developing. He has insane potential though. When he reaches that in year two or three, he and Simmons could be one of the best safety duos in the league.
