The Atlanta Falcons spurn conventional notions of positional value with the selections of running back Bijan Robinson and guard Matthew Bergeron with their first two picks of the 2023 NFL Draft. Guest Trevor Sikkema (@NFLStockExchange) tells host Aaron Freeman why that can work in the Falcons' favor due to Robinson's "Christian McCaffrey-like" skillset as an offensive weapon and Bergeron's proven toughness. He also discusses areas where defensive end Zach Harrison and cornerback Clark Phillips need to improve to impact the Falcons.Finally, he discusses the team's playoff potential in 2023 and beyond.

Later, J.T. Wistrcill (@LockedOnUtes) joins to discuss what motivated Phillips to enroll at Utah, blossom into their best defensive player, and where that trajectory will carry him in the pros.
