Philadelphia Eagles, pick 10

With Miles Sanders departing to the Carolina Panthers, the Philadelphia Eagles are a team expected to take a look at Robinson when their name is called to pick on draft day.

With a top-5 rushing attack last season and the most rushing touchdowns in the league, Robinson would fit in nicely in Philadelphia. Unlike Atlanta, the Eagles aren't in a rebuild and have the pieces already on the offense not only at the receiver and quarterback but on the line as well.

Robinson would have the honor of jumping into an already put-together team where he wouldn't be expected to be the bell-cow but can definitely thrive in.

Between Jalen Hurts' running ability and their other backs on the depth chart, Robinson will still be able to gain a heavy amount of touches without the burden of being the only back in the offense and receiving carries off. Last season Bijan ran the ball 258 times for Texas, exactly one carry less than Sanders' 259 for the Eagles.

Not only do the Eagles need to fill the starting RB spot, but they also have two first-round picks this draft, picks 10 and 30. With the hype on Robinson growing as it is, if the Eagles want him, he can likely be theirs as the 10th overall pick in this year's draft to replace Sanders and continue to have one of the most electric offenses in the NFL. We may be seeing Robinson in the Eagles' kelly green uniforms this upcoming season.
