I mean if you figure that there are 'kinds' of drops, how would you break 'em up? I'd say technique is one (letting the ball get into your body), focus is one and maybe just flat out velocity is one.

I think Watkins is guilty of focus drops. His technique is typically excellent and he doesn't seem to struggle with heaters. Hill's drops are usually technique where he'll let the ball get into him. With someone like Dropmetrius Harris, you got both - but he didn't seem any less likely to catch it at 100 mph than he did a lob shot.

Robinson, OTOH, seems to have good focus (explains his report on schoolyard plays with Mahomes) and his technique doesn't appear to be causing these. But when he gets a real heater, it seems to just go bouncing off sometimes. I wonder if he has smaller hands or if they're not as 'soft' in letting the fingertips cradle around them (which I guess would still be technique related...)

I dunno - but he's dropping some damn nice throws from Mahomes and it really goes back to about week 10 of last year. If he's got the yips, he needs to get over 'em or see more time on the pine.

Yep. Fair analysis.
