g-dawg 42,743 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I doubt the two are related. Falcons are hurting at safety if we are bringing in another teams back-up to be our starter - granted, Rafael Bush would be an upgrade over DeCan't - but that's not saying much.I like Raffy - just not sure he should be our starter.

CHOCTHEFALCONFAN™ 1,038 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I thought about the same thing earlier. Maybe it does, or maybe not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rugger8 1,487 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Could care less about the amount of picks. I'm worried about whether the additions make our team better. Multiple picks, a few studs. Whatever makes us better. And honestly, Clowney could be an unbelievable building block.You know who else would be great building blocks? Mack, Robinson, Lewan, Matthews... and the second and third rounders we'd have to give up, such as David Yankee, Gabe Jackson, Attachou, possibly Mosely or Nix, Niklas...our first rounder next year.****, a great FB can be had in the 6th round. We could potentially get our starting RB in the 4th.Trading up is like buying a car you can't afford. It'll put you in debt for years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jayrockthabarber 166 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I think this gives us the flexibility to move up and take Clowney. We could now take a developmental FS like a Jerick McKinnon in the 5th. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kiwifalcon 19,450 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Exactly.....Do you want to wait another 10 years or more for another clowney-like prospect????Tell that to the teams that brushed off on Jevon kearse\I was kinda going to go JPP myself but hey I'm on the same page though.

QuantumFalconz 269 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I have this funny feeling that Clowney will not be a bust,if we get but I don't think he's worth the risk of others picks in a deep draft...........If we get Matthews,Pryor and Attaochu in the draft, it will be a successful draft IMO.

coach petrino 37 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 You guys are acting like Clowney is a lock to be an elite pass rusher. He had 3 frickin sacks last year. That was in college. Please let that sink in. There's no way you should trade picks away to get this guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's no way you should trade picks away to get this guy.you're basically basing it off one season and are not looking at the body of work...........typical......

weezy01212 278 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I don't think the Bush signing is related to Clowney, think they waited for the FA market to die down a little and also adding Bush like others have said add flexibility in the draft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
