Watching Atlanta's offense, it becomes clear....

lol Chip Kelly might be calling plays for them next year. Color me not worried.

[CatMan72]

Agree in principle, but we also have an offense that is setup by the run so it would be hard to pass on Fournette if he's there. 

Both players have a chance to be special, will be interesting to see how we use the pick. 

[LinvilleGorge]

I don't think safety is out of the question at all. We've been kicking the tires on highly rated safeties for awhile now.

I think the pick is DE, S, or RB.

Yeah, report is we would have taken Barron at #9 in 2012 if he was still there (thank God we ended up with Luke). 

That was under a different GM but essentially the same group of scouts. Point is I don't think we pass on a player that high simply because of the position he plays (besides P or K).

It's crazy what going out and signing quality free agents can do for a team (Falcons offense) huh?  Instead of letting go of an All-Pro and literally doing nothing else.  

I think DG realized when Norman left we were screwed. This year we need to address things and build a team to win a championship. Falcons and Broncos prove you have to spend money.

Adams is thee guy to get for us outside of Garrett. Problem is..... I really doubt Adams is there at 8, so even though SAF is a huge need, I think we need to look at alternatives.

This is a deep SAF class... Adams, Hooker (doesn't make sense with Coleman), Peppers (not a fan, but is talented), Budda Baker (love this kid bigtime), Evans, Melinfonwu looks interesting, and Fish Smithson and Kai Nacua are sleepers that intrigue me quite a bit. 

I personally think we grab one in FA.... I've wanted Johnathan Cyprien since draft day and would love the opportunity to bring him in.  Tony Jefferson, Matt Elam, DJ Swearinger, Micah Hyde and Duron Harmon are all possibilities too.

Disagree, i think you need to pressure Ryan, we can take there run game away, but Ryan gets to much time to throw back there. Best bet would be to get pressure with just for rushers because he is too good against blitz too.

[raleigh-panther]

What happened to Chudzinski's playbook?

we had a pretty good offense then...two true TEs and a decent full back

why are we stuck with this lumbering and laboring offense?

sweet baby Jesus, surely this can't be that hard to solve.

What in Gettleman's history makes you think he will go for the top free agent at his position?

 

People tend to change their ways when their job may be on the line.

Barnett, Fournette, and Adams....I would be happy with either pick.  

 

However, if we did sign E. Berry, then that would probably scratch Adams off the list, even though doubling up at that position wouldn't be a bad thing.

This x10000

Several things.  Some are beating the "have to pressure matt ryan" too much.  Our D wasnt the strongest but they were one of the top as far as getting to the QB.  Think we re-sign Addison and have this same group back.  We actually sacked Ryan as many times as Julio had receptions (with a healthy Bradberry) game 2

Game 1 was a implosion.  Theres a reason why Bene was cut after that and didnt last long  in Miami and Bradberry (our Norman replacement was out)

Game 2 when Bradberry played  Julio had 4 catches on 7 targets for 60 yards.and ZERO TDs

Now what Zod referred to was the help in run support and check down catches to RBs and TEs.

Not lets go back to that ATL game.  Freeman and Coleman combined for 11 catches on 11 targets and 80 yards.  Also Coleman had a 55 yard TD run as a result of a poor attempt by a Safety where Boston essentially took Bradberry out of the play in pretty much a pick.

 

Adams is one of the better Safeties to come out in a while hes going to make a impact .  Using Clowney is a terrible example.  Clowney is a DE amd that is a position that generally takes longer to make the transition.  And on top of that was Raw generational athlete but succeeded only because his athletic ability in college, he actually got shut down a decent ammount due to lack of skills.  One of Adams biggest skills is his Football IQ, work ethic.  Those 2 things remind of a certain LB we drafted around here whose biggest strengths were the exact same thing.  Adams is WAY more hyped than Kenu Neal for ATL he was Solid this year as a rookie.

Adams will fall to us IMO

1. Cleveland goes Myles Garrett

2. SF goes Trubisky

3 Chicago goes Kizer

4 Jax goes Fournette.  Team has invested a ton on the D and needs to get the you g QB they are trying to build around some help Fournette is hype as the next AP.  Coughlin who is in the front office loves to build the offense around the run game

5 Tenn goes Mike Williams Mariotta still doesnt have a go to guy.  Williams stock has shot up after the Bama game.  Mariotta gets his go to guy

6 Jets- Marshon Lattimore

7 Chargers go Hooker- chargers Hired Gus Bradley.  Hooker is a rangy FS what Bradley Loves in his D see Earl Thomas

8 Adams is there for us to take

[Chief Keek]

Yes I agree, the secondary needs a big boost and Adams is just the guy to take it to the next level.

You think that Kurt isn't vet enough?

Although I do agree with you.  Personally, I wanted us to grab Weddle last year.

I think Coleman was fine as long as he was allowed to roam the field and provide double coverage and had someone making the coverage calls. His man coverage is suspect and his ability to line up the defense appears average at best. I think he needs to go back to free safety and we need a vet strong safety who can lay the lumber as has good man coverage skills.
