Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reports Texas RB Bijan Robinson has been "consistently connected" to the Falcons.
Breer said the Falcons taking Robinson with the eighth pick in the draft would make sense considering Atlanta head coach Arthur Smith "built an imposing, dominant offense in Tennessee around a bell cow back, which allowed him to manage the quarterback spot a little differently." Robinson landing in Atlanta would immediately tank the fantasy prospects of Tyler Allgeier, who was impressive as a rookie in 2022 with 1,035 yards on just 210 rushes in the massively run-heavy Falcons offense. Robinson would serve as the focal point in the hyper-conservative Atlanta offense and would be a first-round fantasy pick in all formats.
