One less team looking at quarterback?

[Mr. Scot]

PFT added that head coach Nick Sirianni understands that "what the owner wants, the owner gets".

If true, doesn't really seem like a smart thing for the team to let something like this get out.

Good, unless it's an intentional smokescreen, then bad

On the flipside...

“The question I get a lot is, ‘Hey, would you be willing to draft a quarterback, would you be willing to draft a receiver, despite how strong your receivers are or where you are with Matt Ryan?'” Fontenot said. “And yes. Yes, yes, yes. We’re definitely going to acquire at both of those positions, and we’re going to work hard to bring in competition. But I hold both those guys in high regard.”

Falcons:  if I had Ryan and his contract, I might draft a WR in round 1 and Mond in round 2.  Let him learn and work on fundamentals for 2 years, then Aaron Rodgers him.

I do not see it.  They are not (to the best of my knowledge) shopping in free agency.  Keeping my eyes open, however.  Not sure bringing in Tua or drafting Jones would be great for the locker room (Bama).  Interesting to see what Philly and Detroit do.

ATL really fuged themselves with the Matt Ryan deal, however, I wouldn't put it past them to take Lance or Fields

FWIW Ben Allbright (very connected) just tweeted Lance isn't falling past ATL at 4

I think one way of the other, 4 qbs go in the first four picks.

I don't know bout that.  Lance or Fields could slip.  Not far though.  Someone could trade up if either makes it to 5.

Even if the Falcons have zero interest in taking a QB at #4, they're smart to at least posture that they're strongly considering it.

I really think they will go WR in the first round, probably Smith from Alabama. If Jones isn't snagged in the first round, they'd be wise to move on him in the second.

Personally, I think Jones doesn't make it past 8, but what do I know?

Just a feeling i have with so many thirsty teams.
