Gimmesomo!!! Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Brandon Brooks, G should be the pick at #55 (he plays LT tackle too) 3rd Rd pick should be Michael Brewster, C (Hawley filled in well but he's not really a starter imho)...oh & Hebron Fangupo, DT in the 5th (nice sleeper pick)...I just pray that TD reads this...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawley is the C for the future, and I don't see why we should give up on him yet.We would have to be absolutely sure that Brooks can play LT and be an actual upgrade over Baker, to pick him there.. I don't think we really need any more guards (at least not in the earlier rounds), so if he turns out to be a guard, then no thanks..I just don't see which OL player is going to make an impact with our first picks.. But if TD decides to roll with Brooks, then I'll support it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwifalcon Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 If we are looking at that sought of versatility I think Osemele would be the pick at 55 as has actually played LT for Iowa I think he might be the pick ahead of Brooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_Lo_Touchdowns Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Lol sorry dude we probably won't draft any of those guys. Fangupo is to small and doesn't have the skill set to be a starter, Brooks doesn't play LT good or as effectively as OT we don't need experimentation at LT. There are better options in the 3rd then Brewster. He played great in front of Pryor in Ohio but he was also part of Ohio's tattoo scandal. We seen how it affected Pryors stock. True he's a year removed but its a concern of NFL scouts, he was also moved to C due to injuries. He plays G Lol sorry dude we probably won't draft any of those guys.

vabchbirdlover Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Line's already been fixed, didn't yall hear? Baker's gonna finally emerge as the as the elite LT that Dimitroff envisioned him to be, not to mention the addittion of Manuwai to fix the RG position.. Y'all really need to pay attention.

Gimmesomo!!! Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Aw man thanks freebird...i very rarely hear that even though i feel as if my post tend to make sense & just be straight to the point...I'm not sure how the double standard occurs on this board with the bashing of the OLine & then the sudden justification and renewed support as if these same guys will suddenly become studs. Plus implementing Koetter's strategy is going to prove worrisome if we don't nip this thing in the bud like now! Thank you sir =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngbloodz Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Brandon Brooks is a pure guard in the NFL. And Hawley hasn't even played many games at center yet. You have to DEVELOPE players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Brooks a lot. Osemele could probably play any position on the O-Line except center and he is a hoss at 6'6" and 333lbs so he might be the pick - Falcons have shown interest in him.I also like Brewster but would not take him until 5th round if he falls that far.

ChickenBiscuit Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I don't think our OL was that bad, we just had a bit of an off-year, Jackson, Johnson and Manuwaia battling it out will increase play at the guard position, but LT is a big question mark. Svitek was terrible some games, great some games and then terrible again. Baker is just plain bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eye of the Falcon Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Not sure that C in McClure/ Hawkey is not accounted for. I say let's see what our new coordinator's scheme can produce. I am not so sure that there is a LT worth drafting this year to start is wise given the talent available from rd. 2 forward. Why not wait until we have a # 1 draft choice to draft a franchise LT? We can't fill every weakness with a top player in one year. We need to get an impact player at NT, DE or CB, in that order, to increase our competiveness this year. We are not not far away, but we need to 'digest' the new offensive and defensive systems before we select the 'final' pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattRyan2Canton Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 franchise left tackles grow on vines like watermelon, unfortunately for us falcons fan td is too lazy to pick one. I can name 32 franchise left tackles currently in the NFL that are just sitting ready ripe and just there to plug in and fix all our woes. But again td is a lazy pos all he has to do is push open his screen door, step down off the porch, saunter to the left tackle patch and pick a ripe one.

egoprime II Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) To me, we have three open spots on our O line. LT, RG, C.At RG we do have two more players to compete for the starter spot, Johnson and Manuwai. Johnson was hurt last year so we were stuck with putting Reynolds and Hawley in his place. So really we do not need another player there because......At C we have McClure and Hawley. McClure is near the end of the road while Hawley was a better guard than center. We do have a need for a center, much more than at RG and so, I do hope TD takes a center in rounds 2-5.Then we have LT. We do not have any new players there, and the guys we have are loaded with question marks. Here is where one of our impact picks, 2 or 3, should be used IF a good player is to be had. Somehow someway, we need another guy to put in there to compete for the LT job. Edited April 14, 2012 by egoprime II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimmesomo!!! Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Johnson is a career LG, not a Right...I'm not quite even sure what TD's motivation was behind that pick but I have a good feeling he is not going to be a dominant factor on the OLine this upcoming season although he may push for time, I also feel that Svitek did a lot better job than we are giving him credit for and even though Baker plays like crap, the two of them in rotation should work out decently, I don't know who really pays attention to our OLine play consistently but it really is probably the weakest aspect of this team. Not the DLine, even though that could use some special attention as well, we have yet to put some real beef on this line though, i've been saying that for the past 3 years & just waiting for TD to push the button, Idk, maybe they're comfortable with this rag-tag line but with the potential Draftees I just mentioned we could definitely be on the way to making this continuing conversation an irrelevant one...jussayn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
