RetiredFalconFan48 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I keep looking into this kid and he's not going to make it to round 3. As we know, linemen have been the jewels of the draft for some time now; thus OG and OTs are going to fly off the board in the first two rounds.I think this kid is worth the risk given his measureables. He's extremely athletic, fast (4.98 40ty), versitile (Both OGs,C,RT) and strong as a bull (30 Reps 225). People complain he's from division 3 but he held his own in the senior bowl. I think he fits what we need to improve our oline and run game.To sit back and wait until round 3 because the scouts say we should would be the biggest mistake ever.Would you guys crap your pants if the Falcons took Ali in the 2nd round?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siPei_ky9kU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdz4i Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 not really. dont know much about him at this point. heard his name a bunch. but i def agree with a LG in the 2nd. it would prob be one of the top three at the position if we did.

birdz4i Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Marpet is top 3 at the positionworks for me then. i have heard his name a bunch, had seen some 3rd round projections mentioned, but i don t know much about him yet. next month is when i will start researching names being tossed around.

Mid-Nite-Toker Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Marpet is top 3 at the positionIs there an OG worth #8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdz4i Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Is there an OG worth #8?no. most the time they don t start coming off the board till late teens, early 20s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredFalconFan48 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Brandon Scherff is a top 8 because he's the best OG and OT. However, I'd take a DE/OLB over him if they're on the board unless the Falcons want to trade back into the 1st for a DE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-Nite-Toker Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Sounds like a good idea to me(2nd rnd)...guard is a position we can't expect something for nothing(late rnds). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtybird56 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Scherff would be an all-pro guard IMO. Just absolutely dominate there, but guards aren't good value #8 overall. I'm cool with Marpet in the second because it solidifies our line and it's the one piece that puts our O where it needs to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredFalconFan48 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 yeah. but that is more for his ability to play LT than G. guards are not taken top 10 usually.I agree. But I'm almost afraid that Dallas has started something when they elevated their run game by focusing on their line in the top of the draft. It helped make D. Murray an effective back and took pressure off of Romo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndySG Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 It depends where Scherff and Collins are drafted to play. A lot of people think they fit best at guard. I don't see 5+ guards coming off the board in the first two rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D#x3 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 If you can draft an AP player anywhere it is 'good value' 'value' is just media rubbish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draftnut57 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 IF I were a betting man, and I'm not , but I would bet it all that we will not take a G with our 2nd pick. I'm hoping for a top D# player and a RB with our 3rd pick,, not to mention any names , his initials are Jay Ajayi .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-TowN.- Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Is there an OG worth #8?Maybe Brandon Scherff, but you almost never select interior OL with a top 10 pick. Marpet would be good value at our 2nd round pick and he's perfect for our new ZBS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmo_dlo Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 No I wouldn't be mad, but we won't pick him. And to be honest there is a chance he gets picked even before then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
