There was a lot of buzz about the Philadelphia Eagles wanting Texas running back Bijan Robinson.
It got louder Thursday for a few minutes when Philly traded up to 9 in a deal with the Bears.
However, if that was the plan, the Falcons spoiled it by drafting Robinson.
The Eagles went with Jalen Carter, who had a perilous offseason.
The Georgia defensive lineman probably would have gone much higher if not for his troubles.
