As it stands, the Falcons have the sixth pick in the draft, though at this point, everyone is conditioned to expect them to move up.

Their need for impact is such on both lines, that they’re making sure they know the top players on the board, just in case.

According to Alex Marvez of FOX Sports, they’re going to Auburn today to meet with tackle Greg Robinson.

Since it’s on-campus. they can work him out, instead of the meet-and-greet that happens at a team facility.

Robinson’s athleticism would make the Falcons offense instantly better, as protecting Matt Ryan has been a challenge at times for them in the past. That would allow them to move Sam Baker either to right tackle or guard, upgrading another spot that needs it.

But it would also be a mild surprise if Robinson lasted until the time the Falcons pick, hence the constant speculation about them moving up.
