I'd go MLB or WLB at 17 if the right one is available. Like Floyd. I'd hold off on a SS because if the front seven is stout then the backend is good. Wspevially with Tru and alf cutting off the deep ball. The SS in our system is an enforcer anyway. Not a coverage guy. Ish can enforce. We're not in dire need to replace Moore. Our major need is LB. Worrilow is the one upgrade that I want now. A good upgrade in the middle makes the whole defense better. Pass rush and all. I dont need more than capable. We need more playmakers on that back end, and with all of the LBs that we have on the team now, I dont think it's totally necessary that we take another in the first. Not when you could grab a Jones, Feeney, or maybe take a flier on Jaylon Smith in the rounds to follow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Osiruz 10,079 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 The countdown to cutting Tyson Jackson begins. As a defensive guy, Quinn is by far has been my favorite falcons coach. He is serious about having a good defense, unlike smitty who was perfectly fine w/ whatever tennis team we put out there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I dint think he gets cut tho. He makes the run D better if Upshaw is setting the edge at SLB. There's no running on that side what so ever. I doubt they cut T Jax tho season. That's 2 dirty work guys on the same side. They will force run plays back inside. That's 479 pounds in 2 SEC men on the strong side with violent hands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KCartledge85 441 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Confused why everyone thinks hes a SAM. Last time i checked, SAM covered TEs and plays more coverage than WILL. Regardless, love the toughness we added today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He actually should've been a pro bowl candidate his second year only starting 10 games. He lead the team in int's I believe. Or second on the team. 4 int's and 6 pdef. I'll take that from a SS any day. What YOU want is a name. I want football players. Ish is a football player and he takes advantage of his opportunities when given.

SLB'a don't have to be speedy. Just long and can get in the qb's line of sight. The MLB and WLB need to have speed in this system. The SLB is an edge setter mainly. Not a cover guy per se.

At this rate I'd go Cravens in the 1st for my SS and then Deion Jones in the 2nd to add speed to the LBs. Spoon??? Hopefully. Spoon Reed Wor Upshaw Wheeler Cravens/Ragland/Lee/Jones would look better for sure. I don't think we go floyd in the first because Upshaw will play base SLB. if we draft floyd where does he go?

What YOU want is a name, because the only two available linebackers that MIGHT be available at 17 is Darron Lee or Leonard Floyd. Ishmael is good, but if I have a chance to upgrade two positions rather than 1 then I'm going to do that. You said you wanted a speedy linebacker. Does Jones not fit that criteria?

Halsey. 658 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Big name due to playing at Alabama and Baltimore. Not sure his game lives up to his name. Also not sure he's all that much tougher than the average NFL defender. Again, a reputation that may be more about where he's played in the past than the actual player.

KRUNKuno 9,323 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Totally forgot about Weatherspoon. I mean how many more LBs do we need? Let's not act like our secondary was all flowers and sunshine. We can use a good SS that can double up as a nickle backer ie Cravens. Then grab Jones in the 2nd to fulfill your speedy LB needs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No. They don't play SS. Ish does. I want a football player. You NEVER hear me saying get every name that's available. EVER!! You must have me confused with somebody else. The weak spot in this defense is LB. Safety isn't a pressing need for a starter when Ish can handle that job. Plus Godfrey is still here. I'm good at SS. That the middle of the defense straight and it's a top 5 defense just like that. With Ish or Godfrey starting at SS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Watch his games at Alabama and with the ravens. He's a lde. I wish I could post youtube clips. But that's his natural position. Would be redundant and a weakness to play an lde at two different positions. Don't be shocked if tyson is cut soon IJS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
