TrufantIsland Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 My very personel prediction of how the off-season will turn out.Free agency: During the free agency, TD will acknowledge the problems on both lines - but he also know that we need too free some money in order to pursue the players we need.Going in to the off-season the need are obvious.( not ranked chronologically)TEOLDLLBSecondary needsWRRBDBSo what will happen?First of all Tony is retiring, meaning we will save around 6 mio. on that. Babineaux, Peter, Jerry, Hawley, Franks, Johnson, Coffman, McClain,Gaither, Kone, Davis and Locklear are expiring - Peter is likely to resign along with, Hawley, McClain and Johnson - babineaux will proably also get an extension for less money. The rest will leave the team.Going into the free agency with some space will allow usto address some serious issueson both lines. And here it becomes tricky. There is not enough money to strengthen both sides of the ball.I'm not gonna list all the interesting players, I'll just predict wall will happen.Falcon will grab the following playersJon Asamoah OGLemual Jeanpierre CVance Walker DTLamar Houston DE/DT And Deangelo Hall Cb ( bringing him back short-term)Next thing is trades and cuts.OutA.Samuel cutReynolds cutLamar holmes trade ( 4th round pick)In.Jonathan Martin( 3rd round pick)The draft.We have now strengthen our team severely. But we haven't addressed the TE issue yet - predicting that we will win at least two games this season, Clowney and Matthews will not be available when we draft - therefore we will look for a TE instead. We will receive a 5th and a 7th as compensatory for loosing Grimes and Walker.1.Eric Ebron TE2.Vic Beasley DE3. Traded4.Gabe Jackson OG4.Daniel McCullers DT5.Dri Arhcer RB5.Cody Hoffman WR6.Austin Wentworth OT7. Christian bryant FS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark Kent™ Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 TE with the first pick? lol **** noGabe Jackson in the 4th? Dude is projected early 2nd right now. What in the world makes you think we would get a 4th round pick for Lamar Holmes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrufantIsland Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 Basically I'm just guessing, from what I've seen on scouting tapes - and calculating the needs. I'll be damned if this is what's gonna happen. I know I'm probably way off, but it would be a dream scenario. We would not need Clowney, if we got Lamar Houston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989Fan Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 A TE with a top 5 pick?Deangelo Hall?C'mon man!This team isnt winning two games still against WAS, CAR, SF. I would be mildly surprised if we beat WAS even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrufantIsland Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 It imagine we would trade down and receive a 1st rounder next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rugger8 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 The idea is to get better this off season.Problems:-Giving up a 3rd for Martin, who 1) isn't worth a 3rd and 2) will be cut anyway-Drafting a TE 1st-Hall-Holmes would not garner a 4th--use of the word 'chronologically'I appreciate the effort to get conversation going, but I can't buy into this even a little bit.

RS91 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 If we draft a TE in the first round I will buy every For Sale sign in Home Depot and put them all in Dimitroffs front yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrufantIsland Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 Why? It would be a good asset to both the passing and running game.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS91 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Why? It would be a good asset to both the passing and running game..Not compared to an actual O-lineman. TE really isn't that important of a position. You can get a decent one in the 3rd or 4th round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugger8 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Why? It would be a good asset to both the passing and running game..Any offensive line position would be far more impactful, given this team's needs.There's room for debate on which to do, but there's no excusing a 1st round pick that does not improve the OL or DL.

FlyingHighATL Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Awful..simply awful. No way are the Falcons taking back all of those players they had problems with and were sent packing. They are definitely not taking Martin..too much publicity for the FO and not worth the trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest King Jigsaw Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Means not listed as prioritized needs...No. It really doesn't.Chronological has nothing to do with anything need-based, or prioritized. It has everything to do with time.If I go a list of events and told you to put them in chronological order, you would put them in the order that they happened, not the order of their importance.

ssippifalcon Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Dude........just no.......... I see 0-16 here........hall? You replace asante with hall as a veteran leader for our young secondary? Why not just put a time bomb in their lockers. Im cool with asamoah and the center for competition and heck even the DE is ok but to spend our first pick on a TE over a lineman is just stupid. We didnt draft toilolo to come in and learn from gonzo just to be replaced, our oline and dline issues far outwiegh every other need that we have. Dimitroff wont trade holmes regardless of what hes offered because he sticks with his picks. And martin is a straight wuss, i wouldnt trade the waterboy for martin, the guy doesnt belong in the nfl.

TsuTsu Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Oh god no, a TE in the 1st? That would be terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcons_Frenzy Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Terrible..... where do I begin? DeAngelo Hall? Really? Why? We drafted Trufant and Alford, Hall makes no sense. You couldn't trade Holmes for an empty potato chip bag. Martin would just be a distraction. If we pick a TE with a top 5 pick I will strongly consider giving up football forever. I do agree with bringing back Vance Walker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
