NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Jon Robinson has made 13 trades involving draft picks in his three years on the job, from the massive deal involving the 2016 No 1 pick to a seventh-round condition pick exchanges for a back end defensive linemen.
He’s remarkably unafraid to go up or down in the draft to get what he wants or to back out when he’s not in love with something.
Last week he dealt up three times, turning six picks into four, but coming away with three players he coveted and a fourth he felt was too good to pass up.
Determining winners and losers in trades isn’t easy, particularly with a short turn around.
But I think he was 5-0 in 2016 in deals that netted him DeMarco Murray, Austin Johnson, Derrick Henry, Corey Davis, Jonnu Smith, Dennis Kelly, Jack Conklin, LeShaun Sims and Kalan Reed.
