When they traded for Julio Jones, they went from #27 to #6 and gave a way their 1st, 2nd, 4th and then the next year's 1st and 4th rounders.

To go from #30 to #3 means they have to give up what they gave up for Julio Jones plus an additional 660 points on top of that to account for the difference from 6 to 3 and 27 to 30.

660 points is equivalent to the 28th pick, so they would essentially have to give up their 1st, 2nd, and 4th this year, plus their first and 4th next year plus another 1st in 2015.

Hearing that goal for ATL in possible trade up is a DE/pass rusher. Best ATL can do is prob 22 or 23, putting them in range for Bjorn Werner
