Post-Draft Outlook:COULD SURPRISE: OG Duke Robinson, despite being selected in the fifth round, could find his way to a starting spot at right guard, or at the very least provide some depth for the Panthers. A closer look at the Panthers' picks: Round 5/163 -- Duke Robinson, OG, 6-5, 329, Oklahoma...Robinson had plenty of success in college and could wind up starting at right guard if Keydrick Vincent can't return from a groin injury. If nothing else, Robinson can serve as a versatile backup, big enough to shift from guard to tackle. - by The Sports Xchange
