paulitik Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I really hope this isn't true. We need to trade back if we want him. http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/10302/shane-rayESPN's Adam Schefter reported Thursday that the watch for Missouri DE/OLB Shane Ray begins at the No. 8 overall pick.Like Chris Mortensen did, Schefter reported Ray is fully expected to be selected in round one, despite off-field and injury concerns. Earlier this week, ex-NFL personnel man Russ Lande reported the Falcons had informed Ray he will be their selection, assuming he's there at No. 8 (which he will be).

weezy01212 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 How many draft documentaries have you seen where a player was told by a team that they were "the pick" just to get passed on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonDaLuvMaker Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 If Quinn wants him, then I guess get your man.He may not last as long as most think despite the weed bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtlantaFanatic Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I don't believe anything that's said unless it's Roger Goodell reading from a card in Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monolith2001 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Would not be mad at the pick but not at 8 anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Diesel Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I don't believe the FO would do this at all. Unless spreading disinfo for strategic advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulitik Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Is this the Canadian guy who said we would take Ray 7th overall, even though we don't have the 7th overall pick? The same guy who said the Falcons were trading up for Greg Robinson last year?If so, this was posted a few days ago. https://twitter.com/RUSSLANDE/status/593447490847805440Looks like it. Rotoworld is pretty good usually. The Adam Schefter mention really caught my eye,but I don't see anything on his twitter feed about watching the Falcons at 8.

DonDaLuvMaker Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I'd just feel better if we moved back into the teens. I agree, I would like that better as well.He may not last that long though. The Giants may snag him up.If the Falcons do take Ray at 8, it's understandable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlGM Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I there is no way they could inform he is the 8th pick without even knowing how the first 7 go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHEC Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I really hope this isn't true. We need to trade back if we want him. http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/10302/shane-rayRumors, rumors rumors... this better not happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro2000 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Not saying this true, but I never thought Ray was dropping that far. I felt it was a similar situation to Sapp (Sapp was mostly rumors though).I think Ray will go in the 1st and I also think we were content with taking him. I don't think we do @8 now though.

Sheldon Cooper Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I dont like the pick at 8, trade back if that is who they have targeted. Dont like undersized, dont like surgery as soon as he is drafted keeping him out of camp and starting season on PUP in addition to being behind mentally, and then the marijuana. Why would I draft this guy at 8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheldon Cooper Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I want Beasley at 8 and Kendricks at 42. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBridgez Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I will throw up if we pick ray at 8. We can trade back if we want him that bad. I hope we stay put at 8 and NOT draft Shane Ray or trade up for Vic, Fowler or Williams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would I draft this guy at 8?If the Falcons were to draft Ray, then they may have gotten confirmation that he would probably not need surgery and would be read before the season..As for weight, he would probably be in the mid-late 250's but the start of the season, he weighed 250 at his pro day.

xiv_T_E_C_O_ Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I'm not a big fan of Ray but I like the kid. I've said it on a couple threads, had a feeling since I woke up this morning that he's either gonna be a Falcon or a Saint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Money Lee Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Ray is everything but, "fast and physical". I can't and refuse to believe he's even in the conversation.However, if you watch Gregory manhandle Flowers, and chase down Jeremy Langford.....................

SyCo Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Remember we're talking about this guy:to be fair we don't know that he was wrong. we learned later they tried to move up, claiming it was for Matthews. they also had lewan targeted I believe so it's not outside the realm of possibility they were interested in robinson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
