The signing of Robinson clearly is designed to improve the coverage.<\/p>\n<p>Last season, he covered the opponent\u2019s best receiver and played on both the right and left sides of the field.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Solidifying the corners, along with the return of Jerry should provide the Falcons with an instant improvement on the defensive side of the ball.  Getting Robinson now gives the Falcons a lot of different directions to go with their first two picks (first and third rounds).  They can continue to work the defense with additions to the d-line or LB corps.  I would love to see the Falcons go defense with the first two picks, and look for value pickups along the o-line (specifically concentrating on the C spot) and WR and RB depth with their later picks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Falcons are working out final terms of a six-year contract with Houston Texan CB Dunta Robinson.
