According to Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Atlanta Falcons would be willing to trade up if A.J. Green falls to the sixth spot when the Cleveland Browns make their selection. There has been rumors swirling that the Browns were already seeking a trade partner in order to move back from the 6th pick, but this situation brings some irony with it as it is also widely believed that if A.J. Green fell to the Browns or if Julio Jones was available that Browns GM Mike Holmgren would be compelled to take them.
The Falcons most glaring need this off-season is a top flight compliment to Roddy White in their receiving core. The addition of A.J. Green, considered by a number of scouts to be one of the best wide receiver prospects to come out in quite some time, would add another weapon to an already potent offense. A wide receiving core including Roddy White, A.J. Green, and Tony Gonzalez, paired with a punishing rushing attack headed by Michael Turner and commanded by one of the most talented young quarterbacks in the game with Matt Ryan, the sky would be the limit as the Falcons make a push to emerge as the elite team in the NFC. Falcons fans will closely monitor the situation over the next month in hope that a homegrown talent such as Green could just be the missing link to a possible run at the Super Bowl this upcoming season.
