featherz17 Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 He's usually one of the best at hitting the highest percentage of right picks every year. I won't be upset either way. We'll get a good player with the 3rd pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDetecto Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 No way does Chris Long fall all the way to #6. And I would be pissed if we took Ryan over him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 This guy did about 3 lines of cocaine before he wrote that up. WR isnt a major need for the NYG as opposed to LB, CB, and S, but they take Malcolm Kelly in the first. So many off picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Pritts Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 That guy needs to lay off the crack.The Steelers taking a DE w/their 1st pick? WTF? No way! They're going OL all the way whther it's ALbert, Otah, or Williams. They need a replacment for Faneca plus BEn was sacked over 30 times last year, which was a franchise record.

texasbirdfan Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 flrybranch (4/13/2008)His first two mocks are usually much different than his final that he will post next thursday or friday.His final mock has been extremely accurate. EXACTLY. I about dropped my ### this morning when I open up the Dallas Morning News paper and went straight to his mock as usual and saw what I saw. Then I read the fine print. This one he is just ranking his compilation of what he has heard from the scouts and talent evalulators with his twists. The biggy is the week before the draft and that one is as straight as he can get it from his sources (front offices and GM's) he has cultivated over the many years. That one telss who picks who with fairly great accuracy (minus trades) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock AKA RyanFalcon34 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I am getting really sick on how every sports writer or every expert talks about our pick as The franchise "hope", or they will say, they are in desperate need of ...... For other teams they actually talk about the player, for us they talk about our team being in this horrible situation even though there were about 6 or 7 teams that had an equal or worse year than us. 3.

Eric Obraiden Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 This is what kills me on this board every year. I understand when folks get pissy at Kiper or Mayock, but Gosselin is the man when it comes to mock drafting. He has good reason to think we'll grab Ryan. And guess what theres a great chance that we'll grab him. too many of you on here listen to Grendel and others about grabbing Brohm. Or how the second round is the value pick for the Falcons. Guess what we have a giant glaring hole at the QB spot, and Ryan is the top ranked Prospect. And guess what else, he's a very good prospect. He has nice numbers, size, no behavioural issues, no psychotic tendencies, **** he's even got the best wonderlic scores.Get over yourselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasbirdfan Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 yep. I have traded some emails with Gosselin over the years and he does think the Flacons are at the bottom. But I respect his opinion on the inner workings of the draft and player movements. He gave the Falcons the highest grade (A+) of all the teams in his annual revist of the the previous draft 2007. Again this is his list of what others say is the talent level, not his final of what is going to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muskokas finest © Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 C. Long and Golston won't be allowed to slide to 6 and 7. I wish these guys were learn more about the people running this franchise, look at where and how many #2's we have and stop just slotting Ryan at #3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't want to overpay for a DT that pulls up lame every gameOuch! :pinch: No really. Ryan is a good QB.Is he worth a #3 pick in the draft for the Falcons? Not in my opinion.Do we have bigger glaring needs? Yes! Offensive tackle and linebacker to name a few. We signed 2 QB's, 3 DT's, 2 TE's, 1 K, 1, DE, 1 CB, 1 S, and 1 C. Of which, Redman, Hartsock, Hutchinson, Coleman, and Elam are projected to start. And maybe on of the DT's.I say Miami who went 1-15 last season and released both starters from last year has more of a need at QB. Why do they pass on Ryan? Same reason we may pass on him. Other needs. They have a serviceable QB for now. We do too. I would be suprised if they took Brohm with their 2nd round pick though. Better value.I'd take Jake Long over Ryan all day long. Same with Dorsey. Better value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
featherz17 Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 If both J Long and Dorsey are off the board at #3, I'd like to trade back in the 8-10 range and draft Branden Albert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalcsForLife Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Goss is usually very accurate but this looks horrible to me. I think KC may boycott the team if the they take Rivers at 5. He's not their biggest need and he's not the best player available so that makes no sense at all to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
