#4 Atlanta Falcons (from Browns, for #6 and #68 in 2014 Draft): Greg Robinson, OT AUB
Rory’s Take: With Cleveland having a shot at Robinson and significant interest, the Falcons trade a 2014 third rounder to get their long term solution for their offensive line.
Chase’s Take: Atlanta may be forced into a panic trade here if they really want a left tackle and the Rams have already selected Matthews. There are concerns over Robinson’s overall ability, but he is the best physical talent at the left tackle position and has a package of tools that will make him an early pick in the first round. With Atlanta being desperate to land their franchise left tackle I can see them pulling a trigger on a trade up if they feel that Cleveland will snag Robinson.
