The Great Draft Debate!

[Dirtybird#11]

Ok so I think TD has backed outta the FA market for the time being an I dont really see us getting anyone else other than Champ Bailey.So that means we have focused our attention on the upcoming draft!We still have holes to fill an now is the time we see what falcons fans decide to do...

[xFlawlessxFalconx]

I'm just hoping Mathews or Robinson are available when we pick we still need help on the o line I don't think one player is gonna help keep everyone off Ryan's back.

[RYNE]

It's going to be one of the two. I hope Robinson.

That is why Dimitroff said prior to Free Agency that "We weren't interested in FA Tackles." Because he knows one of these two will be available at. 6

[Jigglypuff]

Thinking in the mind of a GM, it's hard for me to say between Robinson and Matthews. We already had success with Trufant coming from a football family but the OT would be starting on the right side anyway. Matthews would probably be the better choice long term but short term GRob would improve our run game which we need really bad and he'd be SICK to pair with Asamoah.

[RYNE]

I would take Robinson all day, every day, and twice on Sunday. It's not even close for me.

Blood lines don't mean anything to me. Plus no one ever talks about the recent draftee that played linebacker for the Eagles and was awful

well there's a difference between a family of successful NFL players and a random "large" family.

i.e. mannings

i.e. trufant

i.e. matthews

I love how no one voted for barr

Anyone who thinks Robinson is a better OT than Jake Matthews needs to actually watch tape and not the combine.

Yeah idk about Robinsons pass blocking abilities quite yet.I mean we have some good DE in this conference such as Hardy,Jordan,Johnson,McCoy,etc. idk if he can handle them on pass protection plays!Which i want Mack at #6 overall even if Robinson or Matthews or Clowney was open!Just my opinion tho

[Objective Critic]

Your 3rd question has no option for what I would really want. First off if Robinson or Matthews is gone I would draft Taylor Lewin or if I traded down I would pick additional offensive linemen.

My first 3 picks would be offensive line depending on who was available of course. For me as a fan, this is what I think that team needs first and foremost.

Now that the team is switching to 3-4 defense, picking a DE that high is not really a priority and I think the Falcons have the DEs now to switch over to OLB such as Beerman or Masi.

No need to draft Clowney or Mack now. While OLB is a need, the LB corp is not nearly as bad as the offensive line. The whole OL needs to be retooled.

no way would any GM in the NFL pick Mack over Clowney ....

[Thiccolas Cage]

RYNE you apparently are the only other one to get it. Everyone is like, "oh Bruce, oh Clay." Whatever man. Isaih Trufant ain't really all that, he has done enough to remain in the league for as long as he has been there.

[Thiccolas Cage]

See, I am not big on Matthews. I think Manziel made Matthews look good at some points of his college career. Matthews is ALRIGHT and I have come to terms this is who the FO will draft at 6 but I definitely won't be overally joyous of the move.

[Romfal]

My top 5

Mack

Clowney

Matthews

Robinson

Trade down and pick Pryor or Lewan

[jazzyburrell]

I LOOOOVE Mack, but if a faster, taller more destructive Clowney is available there is no way in **** we should pass!!!

[TSprings]

You just cant pass on Clowney if hes there. It is really funny how opinions on draftees change so much long after they played their last game. Yes, you could say Mack is a better fit, but I think Clowney could line up as a 3-4 DE 4-3 DE and a 3-4 OLB and make plays. Just too big, too fast, and too physical

For tackles I think Robinson is a better fit as he is definitely at better RT than Matthews, and can be groomed until Baker leaves.

You don't think Robinson could handle em but can Holmes, Carimi or Johnson handle em? I'm jus askin.
