    Philadelphia Eagles acquire DL A’Shawn Robinson from the Detroit Lions for a fourth-round pick

    The Eagles’ defensive line rotation took a big hit when Derek Barnett suffered a season-ending injury. Robinson, a second-round pick in 2016, could help fill some of the void even though he’s a defensive tackle, not an end.

    ”Robinson could be a great fit in a Timmy Jernigan-type move for Philly,” an evaluator said. “Detroit just gave up a fifth for [Damon] ‘Snacks’ Harrison. If you’re Philly, tell the Lions they can get a better pick back, and see if [GM Bob] Quinn takes it.”

    Robinson played a season-high 42 snaps against Seattle on Sunday, but before that, he was averaging 24 snaps per game. That was down from 44 last season, when the Lions had a different coaching staff.

      Don't know much about him, but I did see one report which says he may be better suited as a 3-4 DE and may be miscast as a 4-3 DT in Detroit. Very few sacks in his career. So we could be making the same mistake. But, he's young and under a rookie contract in 2019, which makes him the type of guy you'd trade a 4th rounder for, if you believe you can get something out of him. He may well be better than Hester/Hector.

        He is apparently a run stuffer more than a collapse the pocket guy. May still be useful given Ngata’s age and injuries. Feel like 4th is a little high for him.

          Haven’t seen this reported anywhere. Would be a good move we are thin on the d line. A younger DT makes sense

            It's just some hypothetical stuff that a reporter put out there that he thinks the Eagles should do. Nothing to it.

              It certainly is the type of thing you do. You just have to hope Howie is sitting there when this comes up. If not, I am sure some other GM sitting there would be on it.

                Robinson was a 2nd round pick a few years back from Alabama. Have to be concerned though that the Lions would trade for Snacks Harrison vs. continue to give this kid a shot. Still I am sure he is better than Tryvon Hester at this point
