Pick 3: List Your Favorite 3 Players At Each Position In This Draft That We Could Realistically Go Afteristicly Go After

[k-train]

With when our selections come in this draft, who are your favorite 3 players at each position that the Falcons have a realistic* chance of drafting?

Our picks are:

Round 2 - #55 overall

Round 3 - #77 overall

Round 5 - #131 overall

Round 6 - #154 overall

Round 7 - #176 overall

(the exact # overall may be off slightly, but I'm pretty sure these are close)

*By realistic, I mean guys that should be available when we select. I don't want you to list your favorite player necessarily, I want you to list guys you see as realistic options. Keep in mind we won't take say a QB early, so you shouldn't list guys like Luck, RGIII, etc. just because they are the best QBs in the draft. Try to be realistic about WHEN we would select a certain position & whom SHOULD be there at that point.

If Mike Adams is still there when we pick we would have to take him but.....I dont see that happening.

Would love Charles in 2nd and Gray in the 3rd and .....I think Moore will go no later than 5th round. To me...if he is there in the 5th you have to take him and trade him to a team who was waiting to pick him for additional picks

Moore very well could go in the 5th, but I think his height will scare off some teams. I know, I know, I know Brees and a very few others aren't prototypically tall QBs either, and have had success in the NFL... but those guys are the exception to the rule. That said, Moore is a proven winner, so someone is probably going to be willing to overlook the measurables.

As for Adams, like I said, he'd have to fall (and I doubt it'd be that much), but he does have a history of on & off the field issues as well as some injury issues early on, so it could happen. Although, those things could also be what would prevent us from taking him, even with our severe desperation for a LT.

If Adams was there and we didnt take him I would be ticked!

Off field issues or not...the guy is good (could be 1st round material and a steal at 55 in 2nd).

Gray is a BREAST too. I would love to see him in a Falcon uniform
