GTFalcon25 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Like many of you here, I'm all-in for drafting a pass rusher with our first pick. But now the rumors floating around about us potentially trading for Bruce Irvin made me wonder who we should pick in the event that the trade actually happens.Then it thought: "Why not draft a pass rusher anyway?"We've been so bereft of pass rush the last few years, we could take the opportunity to stock up. We could make our biggest weakness one of our biggest strengths in a single day. Edit: Obviously, if we trade draft picks in return for Irvin, that changes the picture here, depending on the pick(s).

Guest Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Beasley. We need a leo. Irvin is a backer and leo in sub packages. That will be insane pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuggle'2 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 If we get Irvin I think it kind of opens things up a lot more. Makes trading back and picking up more picks and players incredibly attractive to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFalcoholic Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 If Beasley is there at 8, take him. If not, take Scherff, or trade back for Gurley/Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptain Krazy Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 imo, it allows Falcons to get the truly BPA at #8. If on their board that is one of the edge rushers, so be it. If the BPA left when #8 rolls around is a WR, do it. If it's Gurley, do it.Taking care of needs before the draft allows you to take care of collecting young talent during the draft.

paulitik Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I would like to go BPA like Kaptain Krazy says, but man if we picked up Beasley with Irvin,Schofield, Clayborne, with Babs, Soliai, and Hege up the middle, our pass rush woes are done. no more 3 and 20 somethings getting converted.

Falkonator Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 If we trade for Irvin, deff look to trade back,get Shane Ray and additional draft picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I was thinking. Having multiple legit edge rushers with an interior line that should be a force this season. Just let 'em tee off.

DoYouSeeWhatHappensLarry Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 If Beasley is there at 8, he should be the pick. I don't care who we trade for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulitik Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Trade back and get Gurley and up for RayNot opposed to this either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoYouSeeWhatHappensLarry Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Irvin + Beasley. Pass rush fixed.Beasley+Irvin+Hageman+Clayborn+Schofield+Durant+Reed is pretty awesome. Lot of upside there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTFalcon25 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 If we traded our 2nd rounder for Irvin (hypothetically), then I would absolutely prefer to trade back, grab Gregory/Ray and recoup that pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thanat0s Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 BPA. That's Williams, Gurley, or Cooper on my board. Since Williams and Cooper are likely gone, I'll take Gurley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman71 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Irvin,Ray or Beasley will give us an insane pass rush. If this takes place. Pass rush JUSTIFIED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelley#37 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 PERFECT scenario for me...Falcons send 1st and 3rd to OAK for #4 - Draft FowlerFalcons send 4th to SEA for Irvintrade second for two lower picks (don't know the numbers but would like two low seconds or a second and a third) and get RB and OG.DRAFT OVER!!!!

ZoneOne01 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Yes. You can never have enough pass rushers. We wouldn't be done by any means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman88 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Shane ray fowler and williams are far better then irvin.. So yes draft the passeusher anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlfanstckndenver Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 If Beasley is there at 8, take him. If not, take Scherff, or trade back for Gurley/Ray.I've slowed my roll a little on using the 8th overall pick on scherff. Im not a fan of going guard in the top ten. I realize he COULD be more than just a guard, but I'm just leaving the other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
