I can't start a new topic because I'm a little babby huddler but I wanted any and everyone to see this

 

NFL Network's Albert Breer reports the Falcons are looking to trade up from No. 8 overall in Thursday night's draft.

 

 

 

 

 

I'm cheering like hell for this, seeing them throw away potential OL and RB contributors for one pass rusher, albeit a very good one.

 

Shades of the Julio trade.

 

 

Dimitroff is a moron. He should have been gone way before Mike Smith was let go. 

 

Not complaining, though.

What do you think he does if those guys, along with the other 246ish 1st rounders, happen to be gone at 25?  Do you think he will try to trade out?

 

 

They have some guys that will be available in round 2 that they have round 1 grades on. My guess is they would choose one of those.

Really starting to Love the idea of getting Devin Smith in the 2nd (even if having to move up a little in the round to grab him). Looking at his measurables and film, he is a raw OBJ (just doesn't have OBJ's elite route running). We have the coaches to really teach these kids.

OBJ:

5'11 198

32 3/4 arms 10" hands

4.43 40 7 bp reps 38.5 vert

6.69 3 cone

Devin Smith

6'0 196

31" arms 9" hands

4.42 40 10 bp reps 39"vert

6.83 3 cone

OBJ's route running and hands are what makes him special.  Smith doesn't have either.

 

edit: not saying I wouldn't be ok with him in the 2nd, just that he's not really close to OBJ.

Actually I believe Smith has the hands and concentration. The route running is the Huge difference. As you heard Gettleman mention OBJ was one of the best route runners he's seen. while Smith, many have mentioned his route running as a weakness and really didn't have to run a wide range route tree at Ohio state.

      Yeah, honestly being a long-term backup is at least as much about being a good lockerroom presence and accepting your role as a supporting piece and not being a greasy wheel as much as it does about ability. Backup QB requires a completely different mindset than the starter and some guys just can't make that switch. It doesn't make them bad guys or locker room cancers or anything like that, it just makes them not what you're looking for in a long-term backup. You bring in that type of guy to compete. You don't bring in that type of guy if you're not looking for competition.

      We have some good pieces.  Enough to be competitive week to week.  Coaching seems to be improving but they’ve made it much harder on themselves than needed.  There are very good reasons to be optimistic about the future. However, I don’t trust them yet.  Wins are odd looking and mostly ugly.  Our opponents have to have a bad day for us to hang with them.  A lot of that is because we still haven’t figured out the most important position and will continue until it’s solved. I think Morgan has done a nice job in both the draft and FA so far.  He’s getting better each day he’s in that position. As far as the players listed, I’m pretty much in agreement.  XL and Bryce are not performing the way they should at this point.  I will say XL could see more success in a vertical passing attack to better utilize his speed. And as always, Fug Tepper.
