Photofalcon Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I see absolutely no point in picking at 27 for the Falcons. There will be nothing there that wouldn't be there in the second round. I say we trade the pick and something else to move up and try and get a good WR,DE, or CB, or we trade the pick for more picks. I wouldn't be opposed to trading it for a STAR free agent at one of those positions. I know this isn't Madden, but STARS win championships, and we been doing it your way and have an a$$ woopin at the hands of Green Bay to show for it.

Rai Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 trade up if we want a DE.otherwise trade down a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulitik Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) I don't necessarily disagree. There are only 2 or 3 players worth moving up for, and I doubt they will ever drop into a reasonable range, and you're right the talent drop off isn't very significant between the late first and early to mid second.

HASHBROWN3 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 The more I look at this draft, the better I like the idea of gaining a pick and moving back. We will just have to let the draft come to us and see whats there for us... Here is an interesting article by Albert Breerhttp://www.nfl.com/draft/story/09000d5d81f254f1/article/teams-face-slim-pickings-difficult-task-drafting-this-year?module=HP_cp2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phattywankenobi Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Beyond the 5th pick or so it is somewhat unpredictable and definitely unpredictable at the end of the 1st. Not even TD knows if he will trade up or down until their targeted players are gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckyhead2000 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I would agree. I would be happy if we get a mid 2nd and 3rd for our #1 pick. That seems to be where we pick our best players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Falcon Jedi Knight Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 This draft sucks. There's no good 1st round players at any position. Id rather just trade our 1st round pick away this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with trading for an RFA versus drafting is twofold. Firstly, the RFA already has 4/5 years in the league so his value is diminished by a shorter career with his new team. Secondly, you have to spent big money on the RFA's new contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanINT+1 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 i all for trading back, we should load up on offense in this draft and just take DE in FA or stick with what we got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team needs a spark, and a big name, big time player might just be what it needs, especially in a year like this where I'm more exited about the new season of "True Blood" than the NFL draft. We just aren't going to get anything worth mentioning in this draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
