But that's exactly what Smith and TD did in 08 --a lot of FA cast offs from other teams (except Turner)--and even then San Diego did not try to re-sign him Peele, Rader, Hartsdock Frasier, Moorehead, J Jefferson, Fudge, old released falcons re-signed Grady Jackson ,, Gandy Falcon PS--Backups Dahl Clabo That worked to the tune of 11-5 and a playoff berth besides someone has picked up Atl cast offs, Peters, Weatherspoon, Rodgers, Lowery etc this year

I rather hit the EJECT button

the plan is to bring Matt Lehr out of retirement

We all know this is bologna but I thought it would be fun In a truly random world there would be truly random needs by the 32 teams That means 4 offensive players and 4 defensive players in the top 8. Looking at the Defense you could break it into the (front 7) and the (back 4) Then if truly random there would be 2 (front 7) and 2 (back 4) picks in the top 8. Soo ATL would get the #2 DLINE/LB or the #2 CB/S Ha tooo bad it doesn’t work that way for real of course you can make a similar argument for offense

I kinda disagree there isn't that much difference between the top 4/5 pass rushers I'll use that message board freedom to call them 1 A,B,C,D,E but same is true with RBs there are 3/4 others about as good as Gurley 1 A.B,C,D,E in my book Gordon (A) Gurley( point is if a RB at #8 then Gurley isn't the ONLY answer just as Fowler isn't the ONLY answer at DE/OLB

i really do not want Gurley at #8 or #42 BUT wouldn't it be fun to have Gurlie join the ranks of Brookings. Meyers, Witherspoon, etc

But But can't Wingo and JSmith be "coached up"???? Why can second tier DE/OLB succeed BUT second tier RBs not succeed??? why is rnd 1 RB and rnd 2 DE/OLB good ------BUT rnd 1 DE/OLB and rnd 2 RB bad????

get real -- if all of us just boycotted 1 game at the stadium and on TV think of the impact from just that 1 event just look at the impact a few 1000 had in St Louis recently.(not football related)

Maybe we are each more sensitive to the opposite school--sorry can't remember names but there was a big push for a GIT RB a few years back and wasn't there many poster after a GIT QB the same year as UGA posters were after Schockley?

Maybe weak but true --- and I meant all of us not just you individually The Falcons are a business --if they do not make a profit they are gone where does the profit come from TV commercials and to a lesser extent ticket sales Mr blank has shown he will close a company if it does not make a profit --ie arena football in ATL.

sorry I AM allergic to shellfish

hey I'm a big UGA fan and a big Gurley fan BUT he is NOT the right choice at #8 or #42 (for ATLANTA) AND I've seen the same thing on these boards for GIT players in other years

But the money is coming out of our pockets-- quite buying tickets and see or quite buying the products advertised during the TV commercials and see

If a chef cooks up 10 fine porterhouse stakes You won't take #8 because it's a "leftover" ???????? Well we got more than 10 good DEs in this draft ALSO got more than 10 good RBs Why do you have to have #2???????????????????
