In what could be a smokescreen, NFL Draft analyst Russell Lande says the Atlanta Falcons are looking to trade up with the Houston Texans for the No. 1 pick, but not for former South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, the consensus top player in the NFL Draft. Lande says the Falcons are not interested in taking Clowney, and are instead wanting to take Auburn offensive tackle Greg Robinson.

The Falcons have a need at both defensive end and offensive tackle, so both would be impact selections for Atlanta. Atlanta met and saw Robinson work out two weeks ago, and worked out Clowney last Friday.
