AtlantaFanatic Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I'm not saying it won't happen, but with 3 starting quality DT's already on the roster, why would anyone mock one to us early with all the other holes we have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are getting a guy one year removed from college. You should not expect from them what you do from a vet. There are 7 picks in the draft too. What would you rather draft at second? WR? TE? CB? FS? ILB? OG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark Kent™ Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I think i'd rather have Stephone Anthony there. Would be totally cool with Jarret, but its close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcons_Frenzy Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I'd be happy if we select Ray at #8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunken Minotaur Zebra Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I'm all for BPA as long as it makes sense... this team is literally bursting at the seams with DTs... now Babs will likely retire soon and TJax may be toast, but still... you draft a almost-sure starter in rd 2 imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, DT is one of the positions I actually feel like we are deep at so it just doesn't make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that position we have a lot of guys. I wouldn't say they are talented, or even that good. In the draft you have to get guys who will give you big time half decade production. I am not saying this will happen, but I can't wrap my mind around drafting a MLB in the second, when we have a LOT of guys there. I like getting a FS, just not really in this particular draft. I like getting a CB, but we have Trufant, Alford, Southward(?), Allen, Adams, and Mabin. RB would make me happy, but the board would cry themselves to sleep we didn't just wait until the UDFA, WR maybe. TE, sure. OG or OT...I guess.I'm just saying. Any position at one or two is good with me, as long as they don't suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 The Falcons are supposedly very high on Jarrett. He was just worked out by the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlGM Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 jarret will be a good player but i think we'd look to add oline help. Babs would definitely be on his way out if this happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate that plan as much as I hate the thought of getting a RB at #8 but I like the idea of getting a guard, Safety, or RB with that pick since our depth in those positions are much poorer than our DT depth.

CTann Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) I like Grady Jarrett a lot. He'd be a "defensive tackle of the future" and a darn good one at that. I get a Geno Atkins vibe from him. I was really pushing for Atkins back in 2010, and though I didn't expect him to be as good as he is; I knew he'd be better than a 5th round pick. I don't care if we "already have Soliai, Babs, TJax, and Hageman." You grab the best player on your board in the second, and if that's Jarrett then that's cool! Besides, Babs most likely won't be here much longer and a Hageman-Jarrett duo in the middle for the long haul would be awesome!

Sponge Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I honestly like neither 1st or 2nd rds of this mock. I'd rather have Perryman in the 2nd. Obviously Beasley in the 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconidae Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 As far as a DT, like the lineage.Babs would only be 1.3 in dead money, wouldn't be impossible to cut him. They could also move on from TJax, although that would hurt the cap, but, if they decide it's better to hurt the cap than the team's chances on the field...Would rather have a RB there myself-I completely agree that the Falcons need another RB, I just disagree it needs to be Gurley at 8 or AP in a trade. Get one 2nd or 3rd round. 4th at the latest.Unless they think Wingo is a stud in waiting, which would scare me no end until it actually happened.

AtlantaFanatic Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I'm just saying. Any position at one or two is good with me, as long as they don't suck.I get your point and we don't disagree on much but I just think that is oversimplified. Second round...ok. But IMO it would be absolutely ridiculous to get a RB that early. RB's are often injured. They have the shortest careers of any position, really good talent is often found in later rounds, and the Pats keep winning superbowls and haven't had a true game-changing RB in years. Just doesn't add up to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Diesel Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 No way we go DT in the 2nd. Soliai, Hageman, Babs, and T-Jax.Also, I think Fowler, Beasley, or Dupree will be there for us at #8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFanSince1969 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Let's not pretend like we are set at dt. Babs is nearly a geriatric. Solali is 31, Peters just walked, tjax isn't a freaking dt. The entire defensive line still needs players. It's like nobody noticed that Seattle rotated 7 to 8 guys on the line. No starter played more than 60% of the snaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
