Rings Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Bored and rather than the normal mock, I figured I’d shake it up some. A few teams have made noise about possibly trading up for talent…I have the Falcons trading back with them to add more picks in this years draft. I know this is highly unlikely, darn near impossible, but I figured it be fun to dream of fixing our team in one off season. Included points for each pick as well. The scary thing is, we have the cap space to do this.Trade #1Atlanta – 8th – 1,400Miami – 14th – 1,110 + 46th – 440WR ahead of St. Louis, already rumored to have called teams trying to get into the top 10 for a wide receiver. This one is actually very possible.Trade #2Atlanta – 14th – 1,110Philly – 20th – 850 + 52nd - 380QB ahead of Houston, with Winston and Mariotta gone, Philly will reach for a QB in fear that Houston will take the 3rd ranked QB.Trade #3Atlanta 20th – 850Indy – 29th – 640 + 61st – 292Indy is in win now mode with a huge need at RT, assuming Cleveland takes either T.J Clemmings or D.J. Humphries at 19, the other will be the next pick. Atlanta picks:1-29: OLB – Eli HaroldOur LEO spot is filled for the next few years. Not an elite pass rusher day one, but has to tools to become one.2-42: TE –Maxx WilliamsBest tight end in the draft fills a huge need here, one more passing threat for Matt.2-46: MLB – Paul DawsonQB of the Defense, trouble in the locker room will have arguably the best MLB drop to the 2nd round.2-52: WR – Devin SmithSlide White to the slot, now have two WR that can take the top off a defense on play action.2-61: DE - Nate OrchardAnother solid pass rusher to go opposite Harold.3-73: G – Ali MarpetHuge upgrade at a spot we need a ton of help in, fits the ZBS perfect.4-107: RB – David JohnsonOur big back to complement Freeman, can also catch out of the back field.5-146: S – Durell EskridgeWon’t be starter year one most likely but would be our FS next year, huge upside.6-185: CB – Nick MarshallAnother developmental piece here, could be nickel corner this year or RCB next.7-225: OG/RT – Tayo FabulujeExtremely strong, needs work on technique. Could play a variety of spots. Depth pick here.7-249: OLB – Ryan DelaireAnother piece to develop, a lot of upside here as well, would be backup to Harold at the LEO to keep Kroy on ST.

Knight of God Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I think you could do WAY better than Dawson and Smith man. Those are just like meh...I like it overall though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great mock. I have nothing against it if its a pick made from the heart. I don't hate on homer picks, I truly understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rings Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 This is the second recent mock that I've seen that was actually good.Thanks man, was just messing around to see what was possible and was extremely pleased with the results lol.Give me Perryman and Funchess in the second.Had Funchess at first, but already had a TE which is more what he will most likely be at the next level based on his speed.

Lornoth Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I like Dawson more than the first two players. I really do not want to trade back in the 1'st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, I deleted that post. Funchess is not as good as Smith if he is one of your team faves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funchess is not as good as Smith if he is one of your team faves.Isnt funchess the one from Michigan that they moved to wr because he wasn't physical enough to play TE or something like that or am I thinking of someone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Diesel Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Isnt funchess the one from Michigan that they moved to wr because he wasn't physical enough to play TE or something like that or am I thinking of someone elseYea, that's him. Kind of a hybrid TE/WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rings Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Funchess ran a 4.70 40 would be a big concern, hands were also questionable from what I've read Haven't watched much tape on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Chief Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Yea, that's him. Kind of a hybrid TE/WR. I know alot of people like to say "can he block" in regards to tight ends but those same ones don't realize that some of the best in the league aren't great blockers. The ones that don't jump out at you are the ones who can block. Funchess would be a solid playmaker if those hands can quickly improve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put him in the slot without thinking twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rings Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 I like Dawson more than the first two players. I really do not want to trade back in the 1'st. Torn on him, he has a ton of talent, most have a first round grade from a talent perspective, but he has had issues in the locker room that I think Quinn could handle. I think the group we have now could handle players like this as Mike Smiths group could not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the group we have now could handle players like this as Mike Smiths group could not.Agreed, and I think his 'issues' are a bit overblown tbh. He's my #1 standup linebacker in this draft, OLB or ILB. He's just got "it" that linebackers need. No idea where he'll end up getting drafted anymore but I don't think his attitude would be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
