g-dawg Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I wouldnt touch Dodd or lawson until the 2nd either.who ya like in 1st? doubtful Myles Jack is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macintez Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 This pick would terrify me. The dude may turn out to be a late blooming Reggie White for all I know, but minimal production until mid-November of his 4th season of college football is kind of concerning. I get that Clemson lost their entire 2014 Dline to the draft, but Lawson was at least a productive player as a backup. Dodd really came out of nowhere.I feel the same way, Dodd is a two game wonder. Give me a player with consistent production. No way dude should be considered in the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzard_falcon Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Second round:Atlanta Falcons: Kenny Lawler, WR, California The Falcons have struggled in the red zone for years now. They need to give Matt Ryan some more weapons. A No. 2 receiver is needed, as Roddy White's career is basically over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzard_falcon Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 who ya like in 1st? doubtful Myles Jack is available.P.S. Walt has Myles Jack going No. 4 overall in today's mock. Apparently, "word on the street" is that Jack is recovering phenomenally from his surgery, and may even be able to work out at the Combine.That seems like an incredibly fast recovery to me.

blizzard_falcon Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Third round:Atlanta Falcons: Jack Allen, C, Michigan State There were several reasons why Matt Ryan struggled this past season. The offensive line was one - specifically, the center position, which was a major liability. Walt at least has a solid read on our top needs, even if I'm not in love with the picks.

Pacific_Falcon Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 what is interesting is Walterfootball has Shaq Lawson falling all the way to 2nd round (#40) to NY Giants - I just don't see him falling that far - would much rather have him in 2nd than Dodd in 1st - think it is more likely to be the other way around. 40. New York Giants: Shaq Lawson, DE, Clemson Whether it was Michael Strahan, or Osi Umenyiora, or Justin Tuck, or a two-handed Jason Pierre-Paul, the Giants always had a terrific pass rush. That's not the case anymore, as the Giants finished in the bottom five in terms of sacks. By the way, Shaq Lawson has been appearing in the first round of many other mock drafts, but multiple teams we've spoken to have Lawson pegged as a second-day prospect.

If hes 2nd rd prospect that means IMO whoever said that has 3 maybe 4 guys ahead of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If hes 2nd rd prospect that means IMO whoever said that has 3 maybe 4 guys ahead of him.it just depends on how many "knocks" are on a guy. Obviously Lawson does not have the speed, Dodd does not have the length of production - guys fall all the time - just look at Greg Hardy, Charles Johnson, Jared Allen, etc. (painful to say that two are current Panthers and one is a former Panther) -- lol.

blizzard_falcon Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Fourth round:Atlanta Falcons: Dak Prescott, QB, Mississippi State The Falcons should think about grooming a backup quarterback, as they don't really have anything behind Matt Ryan. Okay, now he lost me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRUNKuno Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 That would be an awful draft...Lawler drops a lot of passes.The MSU center is mehDak Prescott?We have all of 5 picks. We have to try to hit on all 5 of them. This draft doesnt do that at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramonezy Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Im for all 5 picks on D. I think this is a draft we double down on defense and address our offensive needs in FA. After 3rd round, we go BPA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draftnut57 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 17. Atlanta Falcons: Jonathan Allen, DL, Alabama Atlanta has a lot of needs, with pass rush being the most pressing. The Falcons had the lowest sack total in the NFL with a putrid total of 19 in 2015. Taking a natural sacker to pair with Vic Beasley makes sense.Allen has played really well in 2015 with 36 tackles with 14.5 for a loss, 12 sacks, two forced fumbles and four passes batted. He totaled 33 tackles with 11.5 for a loss and 5.5 sacks the year before. In a 4-3 scheme, the 6-foot-3, 283-pounder could play end on running downs and move inside in passing situations. He also could serve as a rush linebacker or five-technique defensive end in a 3-4 defense. Allen has some natural pass-rushing skills to him along with quickness and strength.https://www.walterfootball.com/draft2016charlie_1.php50. Atlanta Falcons: O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama The Falcons still need a replacement for Tony Gonzalez. With the decline of Roddy White, the retirement of Gonzalez has been even more painful.In 2015, Howard had 38 catches for 602 yards and two touchdowns. He totaled 17 receptions for 260 yards in 2014. The talented tight end was very under-utilized. As he proved at USC with Robert Woods and Marqise Lee, Lane Kiffin settles on one receiver and struggles to call plays for anyone else regardless of their talent or mismatch potential. Howard (6-6, 237) flashed big-time potential in 2013. The freshman hauled in 14 passes for 269 yards (19.2 average) with two touchdowns. He was just scratching the surface of his potential.Howard is a fast and dangerous receiving weapon who has the frame to add size. Sources say Howard still needs to improve his route-running and blocking.https://www.walterfootball.com/draft2016charlie_2.php81. Atlanta Falcons: Cody Whitehair, OT/G, Kansas State The Falcons could use some help on their offensive line, and a blocker like Whitehair would give them some flexibility up front.Whitehair (6-4, 305) played left tackle for the Wildcats, but he should move to guard in the NFL. Oklahoma State defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah illustrated that. Whitehair also could use more power for the next level, but he is a good technician who is a well-balanced blocker.Pick change; previously Denver Kirkland, OL https://www.walterfootball.com/draft2016charlie_3.php I really like the first and third picks, but that second pick is not going to happen,, we need way to much to take a TE with our second pick.. Nope, that aint happening... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sobeit Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm glad Howard stayed in school so I do not have to worry about us making that mistake. Not sure I like Whitehair in the 3rd either. When I watch him the impression I get is kind of soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
