Falcons could lose a second or third round pick

As a result of 'noisegate'.

 

Persistent chatter at the Scouting Combine suggested that the Falcons will be losing a second- or third-round pick in the 2015 draft for the infraction.  The NFL has provided no insight on the magnitude of the penalty the team will be facing.

If it’s a second-day pick, it wouldn’t be a surprise.  As cheating goes, attempting to disrupt the ability of the opposing offense to communicate seems to be a pretty big deal.  Given that it wasn’t a one-time thing but a two-year pattern tends to call for an even more significant punishment.

 

Combine chatter suggests stiff penalty for Falcons

 

Just hearsay, of course.

 

But amusing hearsay :D

Winning in the offseason!

 

If this penalty is established, New England's deflategate must be at the minimum a 1st rounder.

 

Pretty sure the verdict there was that nothing could be concluded since the only ball found to be deflated was the one that came from the Colts themselves. That said, the NFL leadership hasn't exactly shown themselves to be the logical sort.

 

If the Falcons lose a draft pick, however, I will smile.  Extensively.

Actually, an NFL official clarified that Ian Rapoport was wrong about that.

I really wish people would stop calling everything something "gate". I'm not calling out Mr. Scott, just the people who come up with the poo.

 

our latest case of "Historygate"

 

Watergate is synonymous with scandal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watergate_scandal

 

 

I used to drive by Watergate regularly when I lived in DC.  Nice place...

      Processing Blue: immediate draft needs

      By Basbear · Posted

      He's a hard player to rank, cause he is a young NT. I do see his abilities to branch out among the DL. That's the only way for him to land in the 1st, some team has to believe he's got the stuff to play DE or T3.... I just don't see using 19 on him, I feel there should be around 7 players just ranked higher than him for the Panthers team.  ___________________________________________________________________   Now you are a roster nut like me. Im tossing this into fire, I think a good move is to trade UP, yes rare. Just the roster #s tell me 5 rookies and no more than 2 starters will make the team. I feel 5 is magic number.    QB- 2  BY, Pickett RB- 3   Chubba, Brooks(pls), etienne TE- 4   Sanders, Temble, Evans, Draft pick/major/franks/UDFA OL- 10   Walker, Lewis, Fortner, Hunt, Motown, Zavailla, Samac, Stone, Draft pick, Draft pick/Charles/carter WR-  6   Tmac, XL, Coker, Metch, Horn, Tremay   offense=  25 with 3 draft picks   DL-  6   Brown, Brown, Wharton, Ray, Cam, Hunter/draft pick Ed-   5  Phillips, Nic, Prince, Jones, ST/incoom/hampton ILB-   5  Lloyd, Wallace, Bam, Claud, draft pick CB-    5 Horn, Jackson, Thor, Evans, draft pick/CSN/UDFA SS-  4  Scott, More, Ramsom, Sim   Defense = 25 with 3 picks   ST = known 3+o+d = 53 roster   SO I see only room for 5-6 with factoring in UDFA pool. That tells me to trade up! Bonus the 1st+3rd gets in front of TB yucs. Then use one of the 5ths+2nd to draft another target. That's your two starters and use the 4th, 5th and 6th for the development OTs and what ever the best player are at the pick/DB. The last couple years they have added 2-3 UDFA each year, maybe the same this year too. Soooooooo Im normally 95% trade back, but above made me change my mind. I do not want to waive 5th rounder, I feel thats high with players on the bench.    ??
