From The Score:

The Atlanta Falcons are open to dealing the fourth overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Albert Breer of MMQB reports.

 

Atlanta has had exploratory talks with teams looking up to move up in the draft, Breer adds.

 

With quarterbacks expected to be selected with the first three picks of the draft, a team could acquire the Falcons' selection to secure the best-remaining signal-caller.

 

Atlanta could also choose a passer to develop behind Matt Ryan if the team keeps the pick. However, the longtime Falcons quarterback holds cap hits of $26.9 million and $48.7 million for the next two seasons after he restructured his contract last month, according to Spotrac.

 

A top-ranked position player such as Kyle Pitts could also be in play for Atlanta. Pitts, who's widely regarded as the best tight end in the 2021 class, previously said the Falcons expressed interest in selecting him.

 

The draft has already seen significant movement. The San Francisco 49ers traded up to acquire the third overall pick from the Miami Dolphins.

Yeah ATL >> CAR trade is nigh impossible. One can only hope the asking price is too high. If number 3 got a swap of 1st's, two future firsts, and a 3rd -- you'd have to imagine that the price will be similar. 

The question is will teams want to spend that much on the ''4th best QB''. I think that's what it will boil down to. DEN would make the most sense as they (ATL) could move down to #9 and still acquire a great player, and the cost cost for DEN would be a little less that what it may take for WAS, or NE to jump. 

I also see a trade with an NFC opponent unlikely so WAS seems more of a longshot -- DEN / NE are the teams to watch IMO. 

JAX - Lawrence

NYJ - Wilson

SF via MIA - Fields / Lance / Jones

ATL >> DEN - Fields / Lance / Jones

CIN - 

MIA

DET

CAR

DEN >> ATL

--------------------------------------------------------

In this scenario with four picks before us at #8 several great players could still be available, so no matter what happens we will get a good prospect. UNFORTUNATELY it will likely lead to another year of mediocre QB play, while the roster / coaching seems good enough to keep us out of the top 5. 

Pitts

Chase

SeWell

Parsons

Slater

PFF just put out a mock draft where the Broncos get the #4 pick from the Falcons specifically because the Falcons don't want Carolina to get a new QB. Carolina elects to take a neglected Penei Sewell, who fell after the Bengals drafted Chase.

I wouldn't mind this scenario if it meant we got Darnold or traded back into the first with the Packers for Mond, just so we can have that 5th year option in lieu of a 3rd round pick, which both would cost.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
