Per Glazer, the chances Atlanta moves up are “very strong, if (the) right playmaker is there” early in the draft.

Falcons G.M. Thomas Dimitroff is “aggressively looking for (a) playmaker,” according to Glazer. Dimitroff has reportedly been in conversations with the Cardinals, Browns, and 49ers.

Glazer calls Cleveland “the most likely spot” for a Falcons trade. Earlier in the day, CBS Sports’ Clark Judge predicted that the No. 6 spot in the draft would be a “hot spot” for activity.

If Falcons can get up to sixth and perhaps get AJ Green that is sick, him and Ryan would be deadly. If they just move up to around 10 and get Jones ,makes them a much better team.

Maybe, but Green in Atlanta is better than Jones in Atlanta. It was too much, there's no real way to sugarcoat it. Spending two firsts, a second and two fourths on Julio Jones, the second best WR in the draft, is a stretch. Poor value. Might work out, but poor value.

      He should've been more than a JAG, but Jeremy Chinn.  I was convinced he was our next defensive star

      Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
