jj Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I see us not winning anymore games, giving us the number 2 spot (behind Miami and in front of New York). With that said lets get on with the offseasonCuts or not resignedAdam JenningsArtose PinnerBrian FinneranByron LeftwichBen WilkersonJoey Harrington or Chris Redman ( whoever does worse is out)ResignedDeangelo HallMichael BoleyTyson ClaboChris Redman (if not cut)TradesKynan Forney to Denver for a 5th round pickRetirementsWarrick DunnWayne GandyJoe HornMorten AndersonDraftRound 1 [#2 overall]: Darren McFaddenA playmaker who will fill the seats as well as show off his amazing skills as a runner and sometimes a passer, Can really open up Petrino's playbook.Round 2 [#34 overall]: Michael Oher. I believe he will slip because there are 4 OT's in front of this guy, Clady,Baker, Cherilus, and Long. I dont see 5 OT being taken in the 1st roundRound 2 [#43] Frank OkamRun Stuffer and a big player, would love to have him next to Trey LewisRound 3[#66] Vince HallHard Hitting, Playmaking, full contact inside Linebacker, something we haven't seen in a whileRound 3 [comp] Roy SchueningWhoa Nelly, make way for this bull of a player.

jidady Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I like this mock a lot. My only point of contention is that I doubt Cherilus winds up ranked ahead of Oher. I believe Otah might, but Cherilus has had too many sub-par games. With regards to Josh Johnson, if you are near a newsstand (or subscribe), Sports Weekly has an excellent article about him in the most recent issue. 43 TD passes to 1 INT seriously might be the most impressive college stat I have ever heard.

defensedefensedefense Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I like this draft too...If Oher declares, i dearly hope he falls to the 2nd but i have my doubts about that...Love the Schuening pick... I think he will be a stud in the NFL. He is nasty and finishes his assignments.If we dont draft Laurinaitis(which is doubtful, but im still holding hope lol) Hall would be a fine pick for ILB. Where he falls has a lot to do with the combine IMO and how well he runs there...I would like to know which FA's would be targeted if this draft was to eventuate... Having Oher and Schuening next to each other on the OL would be a steep learning curve, unless your thinking of throwing Oher into the fire at LT and leaving Weiner next to Schue...

FalcsForLife Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I almost quit reading when you said we should trade our best o-lineman for a 5th round pick but I am glad I didn't. The draft looks very good overall. Oher would likely come in and start right away and I like the pick of Josh Johnson. We have to see what Chris Redman can do in the coming weeks.....if he is no better than Joey or Byron has been then we obviously have to find a vet that can come in and start for a year or two. Overall nice job minus the trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.leon Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Nah I don't like Forney in out line. He doesn't fit, is a libility in pass protection and is often injured. I very much like that, good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Fanatic Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 So ... we wait until the 4th round and put all our eggs in one basket on a QB whose level of competition was Azusa Pacific, Marist, Northern Colorado, Butler, Davidson, etc, etc? You have got to be joking or on crack. No thanks. That's worse than the folks wanting us to draft Erik Ainge IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other teams get along without having a "franchise" qb. Ideally I would like to draft a Qb early, but only if it's worth it, and I doubt it will be right unless we do some trading.

Deacon 13 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I never thought of Forney as the Falcons "best" Olineman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelers/Dawgs6481 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Just say "no" to Josh Johnson.He's a D-II QB for a reason. Nothanks.It's all about Brohm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb4242 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 No way Roy Schuening falls out of the mid 2nd round. He is the top OG in this draft and they usually go early 2nd.Also I still think it's extremely doubtful we get a 3rd round comp for Kerney.JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I cant think of another UFA (off the top of my head) that is playing better than Kerney right now.San Fran got a 3rd round comp pick for Peterson 2 years ago, so I wouldnt rule it out for us by any means.

jj Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 Thanks everyone for your posts, and now to continueI plan on putting Oher at Left Tackle halfway through the season, and Scheuning in at RG. Josh Johnson I think is a good pick because the quarterbacks ahead of him are statues and with our o line the way it is, they will be sitting ducks. So why not spend high picks on our line and other key needs before we go and get a face for the franchise?I plan on having Gandy retire, btw so we dont need to cut him. Free AgentsNat Dorsey, UFA OT, CLE: We need someone to hold down left tackle until Oher is ready. Im sure Oher will be ready but its just the grooming process time that we need.Corey Williams UFA DT, GB: A 6'4 313 pound defensive tackle, 4 years of experience helps us have a mixture of veterans and rookies at DTBryant Johnson UFA WR, ARI: we need another talented reciever and this guy is talented but is overshadowed by Boldin and FitzgeraldI think Redman will actually impress the coaching staff and he will be the starter or will be in contention next year for the #1 spot, depending on these next few games.Any other questions?

ATLBrave Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 It's a great draft, but gotta say this. Oher, if he declares, is too much of a physical specimen for a team not to take him in the 1st. If any of those guys you listed were to drop, I'd put my money on Clady or Cherilus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jidady Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 With regards to Forney, being a healthy inactive last week says it all about his future with this team. As for Kerney, if he gets a Pro Bowl spot (which I expect), we get a third round pick for him. There is no doubt in my mind on that. The NFL's formula for player compensation rewards sacks a ton.
