If smitty wanting out is true, does our draft strategy change?

...specifically, where does this leave the prospect of drafting AJ Green? on the surface it would seem like a great move. lose smitty, gain a likely elite receiver that could be on the team for a decade.

Don't think so. Even without Smith QB and DT are our biggest weaknesses.

You have to remember, WE just found out that Smitty was really wanting to be gone. They have known since January. Their draft strategy has been the same since then.

rather add a later reciever..we seem to do well drafting them last year.

It would be good, but who in the hell is going to get him the ball?

[SmootsDaddy89]

If it's true, the FO has known about it for a while, and planned their draft strategy around it. So nah, not really.

this.....I'm thinking Greg Little if he falls to our compensatory pick in the 3rd

[Sword]

would like to see smith's opinion of newton although he's never been one to praise a rookie lol

[koolkatluke]

A few good FA wr out there. No need too get another young one when we have 3-4 on the roster now.

[Mother Grabber]

The WRs haven't been talked about by our FO, that means we have a 99% chance of picking one of them...Green or Jones.

[Brooklyn Bully]

0% chance we use the first pick on a WR.

[Sword]

lol at people turning their opinions into percentages.

I think it's been clear for awhile (hugs and handshakes with Fox at the end of that horrible season ender with Atlanta).

He's gone, and I hope he ends up somewhere that his few remaining years as an elite WR aren't wasted on a poo team with no QB.
