Slick Skillet Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 If we don't pick an OT with our first pick, I see a safety or running back as our first pick. We need proven interior lineman on both sides that can come in and make immediate impacts. You just don't find that in the in late second, third, and fourth round picks. But you can find immediate contributors in those rounds at safety and rb. Somebody mentioned David Wilson. He would be a great change of pace back for Turner. He reminds me of Shady McCoy (love that guy). Fix our interior lines with free agents. Start with Carl Nicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconidae Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Think it's more likely they take a flyer on a LT in FA, let the players already here fight it out for the guard spot and keep McCure for another year.Nicks will probably either re-sign with NO or get so much money the Falcons can't afford him.

Slick Skillet Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Who out there is letting good LTs walk in free agency. The only reason Carl Nicks is leaving N.O. is because they can't afford him. Jahri Evans is already the highest paid OG in the NFL. By the way McClure needs to be replaced. Sorry.

madman88 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 We all will kno more of the direction we will go after FA... We cnt go spending crazy in FA.. its more important to sign yo guys back before messing with other teams players... I see us going after only one O-lineman in FA which would be T since we might not have a capable player. There with our 2nd pick.. so that where we adress the d-line, we bring in either a DE or depending on how much value they have on getting a NT that could be an option...I dnt see us getting a TE or any offensive plYer unless its a lineman with our first pick..

Sorry.Think they'll take a flyer on someone like Gaithers or Neil, pair him with Svitek and get through the year at LT.Don't know if you paid attention, but, last year, the Oline got a lot more stable w/ McClure in. They can get one more year out of him.Love to have Nick, just don't think he'll be affordable.Do like the idea of getting a NT in FA.

I have to say I believe the opposite of everything you just said except for Carl Nicks but I think Ben Grubbs is a pretty good pick up and maybe be at a more reasonable value per production.

Slick Skillet Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 The Falcons will be looking at best player available if they address interior oline and dline in free agency. If that BPA is a safety, OT, or RB, that's who they will pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulitik Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I agree. You're not going to find a day 1 starter at LT in the late 2nd round, you may find a RG or Center, but it's a risk, I think Smitty and TD are under pressure for immediate results. We'll use FA to key in on the most pressing needs, and the draft to solidify the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vel Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I think our 2nd round pick with be the best possible player on the board. It's pretty evident the OLine will be fixed in FA. The DLine, in my opinion, doesn't really need fixing, just more attacking mentality. Guys like Biermann and Sidbury have pass rushing ability but aren't being utilized. Add maybe a DT.But our pick should be the best TE, S, CB, DE, or DT possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't afford to draft young players at those positions. They'll only be grooming them for the next regime, because they want be here. And if an explosive back that could be an every down back one day is there in the second, the Falcons will take him. That back would team with Rodgers after Turner leaves.

Slick Skillet Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Mike Nolan and Red Bryant at DT would be the solution to much of what ails this defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1 pick Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) We aren't drafting no SAFETIES!I doubt we will even draft a RB.It's most likely an OL at that spot if one who is good enough is available.

delaigle Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 There are 3 different types of needs, immediate, mid range and long termImmediate isa good LT,possibly a FS,maybe a big DT to collapse the pocket.I believe they will use the palyers they have to fill the ROG spotMid range isa replacement TE for Gonzalez,a replacement at OC for McClure,a replacement for DE AbrahamLong Term are developmental replacementsfor RB Turner,for WR White,for RT Clabo, I may have missed someoneI only hope they will concentrate on the immediate needs through FA and the others by the Draft.

leftfield Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 How about TE and QB 2nd and 3rd respectively? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vel Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 KB is average and Sidbury is a not talented hack. I hope you aren't being serious.Actually, if you check out what KB's PFF grade was in 2010, he was a really good DE. His production and subsequently his grade was killed by the addition of Edwards. And to say Sidbury isn't talented shows how narrow minded you are. Sidbury has the talent, just isn't being used. Like somebody said, put Sid on the Giants and he is getting 6-8 sacks easy.We aren't drafting no SAFETIES!I doubt we will even draft a RB.It's most likely an OL at that spot if one who is good enough is available. Maybe even a DT.We are saying these positions because we assume OLine is fixed in Free Agency. Do you even read the posts or do you just blab out most times? The consensus is that OLine should be fixed in FA with proven players.Like I said, sometimes you have good points but you kill yourself at the same time.

hardenmj Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) LT, G, and DT are what i believe are our positions of greatest need.We have too many holes to be looking at RB regardless of what we fix in FA Edited February 10, 2012 by hardenmj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardenmj Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 We all know Quizz is going to get an extended role in 2012...MS has said so himself and MS told Koetter he wants to be a better screen team (would have to think a lot of those screens will got to Quizz). good RBs can be found late in drafts or even undrafted and I don't think we have that great of a need yet for a RB. We won't be able to fix all of our holes in FA so I would think our first pick would have to be LT, G, C, DT, CB (if we let Grimes walk) or somewhere else...don't see it being a RB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vel Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 So let's say a guy like David Wilson or Lamar Miller are on the board at our second pick, but the best DT available is a guy like Brandon Thompson (who I like a lot so this isn't biased). Taking the RB would be taking the best possible player. That's all some of us are saying. I am not saying "I want David Wilson". I just think we should get the very best player possible.Yes, right now, we have Turner, Snelling, Quizz, Smith, and Nance, but Snelling isn't a guaranteed return, Smith never plays, and Nance may not be on the roster. If you keep it real, right now the only RBs we have are Turner and Quizz. Adding a RB (which I think we personally do in the third) would give us a better running game for when Turner's wheels fall off.I think we fix the OLine in FA, take the best DT in the 2nd and the best RB/TE in the third. This assumes we bring back Grimes so no CB unless one falls but I like Franks in this system. That would give us interior push on defense and a weapon on offense behind one of the aging vets.

vdove0926 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 We are set imo at every position on the oline except for LT and honestly if the screen game is going to be a good part of our scheme then Svitek will do just fine.Either we get Nicks or grubbs or we stay the same. Remember Mike Johnson, he could solve the rg problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
