NFC South talk: The Falcons may be drafting a QB after all (Article)

[WarHeel]

Calling it now. Cam is going to ATL. Starter or backup, doesn’t matter.

I’m all for our higher draft pick, but I don’t see a way that we could have won that game even if we tried. Haskins and the Washington team in general was just that bad when we faced them (even special teams) and you seen what happened in Philly with them trying to tank. The players very extremely unhappy, and it is leaving a stain on the coaching staff.

Julio’s production just isn’t there. You take the cap bomb and let him go

 

Ryan... he’s 35, not the future anymore. You draft a QB, let him sit in the first year then you unload Ryan

I can see them drafting a QB - in the 2nd round.

[Basbear]

Just playing the game, look like they may draft QB to get GM offers better.

Id also see this if Jones and Ryan where sucking, they are not as that pains to say.

Matt Ryan getting traded to the 49ers to reunite with Shanahan. Garropolo going back to NE. Cam out of the NFL.

Been saying for the last couple weeks the Falcons could easily draft a QB.  Got nothing to do with contract, has everything to do with the fact that Ryan will be 36 before next season starts.  He's going to hit that cliff real soon, the Falcons have a very high pick in a draft replete with good QB prospects.

I think Ryan might go to New England.  He might feel he can win a SB with Bill B.

They had their shot at winning the SB with Julio and Ryan. They failed. It's a wrap. Now they can take a new QB, but thank goodness we won that Wash game.

i am thinking that we are going to trade with Miami and draft Wilson.

[Peon Awesome]

Let's see... Blank says Matt Ryan and Julio Jones may be there for another 2 or 3 years, or maybe not. What a compelling statement. That statement says nothing about them drafting a qb at 4. Hell, the dumbest thing the Falcons could do would be to announce their plans for the 4th pick. If they have no desire to take a qb, it's 100% in their best interest to feign some interest. They would sucker some team like the Panthers to pay a fortune and mortgage their future to trade up to 3 while they get the pick they wanted all along at 4 and take out their prime competition for that pick in Miami. Dear god that would be a dream come true for them. Maybe they're all in on Sewell or Chase/Smith. Those are the same players in play for Miami at 3. 

Anyhow, the fact that you all are dissecting Blank's comment as though it's anything other than a completelty meaningless statement is funny. Keep going.

I see them drafting a QB, but I don’t think the Jets will. They’re going to suck next year, anyways, and get their pick at the best QB available in the 2022 draft. We’re still going to have to trade up, though. I believe Detroit will draft a QB.

[Shocker]

Justin Fields is from Georgia...just saying.  3 QBs are going top 4 aren't they.  Dammit.
