since68andcounting Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 No matter how you slice it...somebody really good is gonna fall. Jaylon Smith, Ogbah, Ragland, Lawson. Two of those four will very possibly be there at 17. And there's a possibility that someone like Kevin Dodd or Billings will be there when we pick in the 2nd round. There's just a ton of defensive front 7 talent in this draft. I sure hope we get it right this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackredfellow Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I hope so. I don't think there is any doubt they go defense. If there is a Peria Jerry in the first round, TD will find him, that is my concern. Hopefully the FO restructure gets results. Also, if Billings makes it out of the 1st round i'd be really surprised. if he made it to us at 50, we take him and I sh*t my pants out of sheer joy. I'd be ok with him in the 1st (but Jaylon is my hope). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
since68andcounting Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 There's also Scooby Wright who is coming off an injury and will almost certainly be there in the 2nd round. He may be a tad small, but his stats in his last full season of 2014 were simply ridiculous. 163 tackles, 29 TFL, 14 sacks, and 6 forced fumbles. No matter how you slice it that guy is a player.

No way it happens, but yes, if in the .001 chance he makes it to our 2nd pick, then we'd automatically win the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you mean put down the pipe to OP, I agree that he won't make it out of the first round. And I still stand by if he made it to pick 50 I will sh*t my pants with joy. Literally.

Matt_The Iceman_Ryan Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Bosa, Ramsey, Jack, Buckner, A. Robinson, Lawson, Hargraves, Billings, Nkemdiche, Ragland, Smith, Reed, Rankins, Ogbah, Spence, Floyd We are getting one of those guys...and that's an instant upgrade to our defense... My Board: 1. Bosa / Ramsey / Buckner 2. Jack / Smith 3. Lawson / Ogbah / Spence 4. Billings / Rankins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazoo Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Our fans are pretty good at picking players that get injured too. It was a near consensus pick here for Clowney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your snarky comment suppose to indicate a defense of dimitroff or that I'm unfairly singling out a player that never succeeded due to circumstances beyond his control?

kiwifalcon Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Not worried what combo we get just hope we go full court press in the draft defensively and go get the offensive help in FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hope is Quinn and Pioli can out-vote him in critical situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby.Digital Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Ehh not that high on Ogbah or Ragland in the 1st. If we can come away with one of Jaylon, Nkemdiche, Spence, Rankins, Billings or Cravens I'll be happy.

I think Pioli is huge for this team and in a couple years we may well look at him as the reason for the Falcons drafting turnaround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note, I see Spence overtaking Buckner and Bosa by the end of the combine. Edited February 25, 2016 by Realist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anewton Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 yeah, PJs injury wasn't really TDs fault , if we had clowney how many here would be labeling TD for picking another injury prone bust ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoneOne01 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Really think this team needs to grab a DT or a LB in the first round. Shore up the edge rush in FA. This team can't afford to wait around on a rookie DE to be a major contributor next season. Defensive ends usually take two to three years to develop. And I have a hard time seeing this front office massively screwing up another draft with Pioli here. Not saying we're going to hit on every pick. The odds of this team having a decent draft is automatically higher with his input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delaigle Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 We're gonna get a heck of a defensive player in the 1st round But then again so will every other team that drafts defensively Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
