Did you do this just to get me to like a mock with Gregory in it? Well, it worked! Great mock! Call it in NOW!!!

I like Gregory on the field. If you trust Quinn & Co to get the best out of players then you have to like guys with big upside...and I see Gregory as that.

Love me some Landon Collins. I wouldn't label him as a ballhawk, but he's no slouch. He'd be the best free safety the falcons have had since I can remember...and if they switch him to SS he'll be the best there too. In short, UPGRADE! Dude is such a good tackler and you know Quinn loves that.

Yeldon is not my favorite RB but he may be perfect for what this team needs. Excellent fit for the zone read. Very similar style to Demarco Murray IMO with less top end speed. Not too many miles on the tread. I think he is underrated and would be a great compliment to Freeman.

Similarly Ramik Wilson isn't my favorite LB prospect but he seems to fit the specs of what Quinn will be looking for. Upside here too. And ability to play inside or outside is important.

Oline is a concern and Shaq Mason looks like a guy that can play G or C and is agile enough to fit in a zone blocking scheme.

The rest of the guys are pretty much upside guys. Imagine Waller being developed into a TE that can stretch the field. If Quinn gets the best out of Drew can he become a guy that can create problems on the DL? Can Marshall transform himself into a quality big CB? And can Murphy play a Sproles type role?

Gregory doesn't make me all excited when I think of Quinn...he makes me think we will be trying to get something out of him until we either move him to SLB, or the bench...IF he is not suspended. If we drafted him, I would immediately hope we dip into the pool of edge rushers early again, or in FA.
