Falcons moving up?

The Atlanta Falcons appear eager to move up in the first round of the NFL Draft to grab one of this year's top cornerback prospects.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported the Falcons continue to be the team to watch when it comes to moving up in the NFL Draft, adding they have talked to teams well into the Top 10 and appear ready to make a huge leap from No. 16 via trade.

The top two cornerbacks in this year's draft are Ohio State's Jeffrey Okudah, who could be a Top 5 pick, and Florida's CJ Henderson, who started the draft process hovering around the Top 20 before rapidly moving up boards as of late.

A number of teams, including Washington (No. 2), the Detroit Lions (No. 3), and New York Giants (No. 4) have reportedly shown interest in trading down.

No. 2 Pick Available?

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Washington Redskins have started to receive calls on the No. 2 overall pick. 

Rapoport adds that Washington is not intent on trading the selection, but they are listening to offers. 

Ohio State defensive end Chase Young is widely believed to be the second player off the board Thursday after LSU quarterback Joe Burrow. 

While it’s unclear if Washington will move their selection, it marks yet another team that is at least considering moving down. The Detroit Lions, at No. 3, and New York Giants, at No. 4, have openly discussed the possibility of moving down.
 

Williams finally on the move?

Trent Williams has made no secret of his desire to be traded out of Washington and, according to Josina Anderson of ESPN, a move could happen before the draft.

Anderson reports that no trade is close, but the Cleveland Browns are keeping an eye on the situation and could still strike a deal for the left tackle.

Williams’ agent Vince Taylor sent a memo to reporters last month reiterating his client’s wish to be traded or released from the team, adding he believes the team has not negotiated a trade for his client in good faith.

"The relationship between the Redskins and Trent Williams has reached a point where it’s in the best interest that the Redskins trade or release him," Taylor wrote.

Washington allowed Williams, a seven-time Pro Bowler, to negotiate a trade earlier this off-season, with Taylor saying he provided the team with trade options but they gave inconsistent demands on what they want in a return.

Williams has spent his entire career in Washington after the team drafted him fourth overall in 2010. The 31-year-old played nine straight seasons, earning trips to the Pro Bowl in the last seven, before taking last year off.
