Falcons Send WR Robinson To Rams

The Atlanta Falcons have sent wide receiver Laurent Robinson to the desperate for wide receiver St Louis Rams.

In exchange for Robinson, a third-round pick in 2007, the Falcons and Rams have swapped their spots in rounds five and six.

The Falcons move up 22 spots the fifth round (from No. 160 to No. 138) and 20 spots in the sixth round (from No. 216 to No. 196)

As a rookie, Robinson appeared in 15 games, starting six. He caught 37 passes for 437 yards and one touchdown. Last season, the first year of the Thomas Dimitroff/Mike Smith regime, Robinson appeared in six games with no starts, catching only five passes for 52 yards.

Robinson joins a less than star studded group of receivers that currently includes Nate Jones, Travis Brown, Chad Lucas, Derek Stanley, Keenan Burton, Donnnie Avery, and Joel Filani.
