Thats tough. I know the logical thing to do is trade down for a good deal but man that guy is insane. I'm sick of no pass rush. The only reason you wouldn't pick Chase Young up is that you're drafting a Franchise QB. JDaveG 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If the falcons end up with 6 draft picks in the top 3 rounds, and hit on 4 of them, this team suddenly has life with rookie contracts on 4 starters As much as I love Ryan, sometimes you have to strike when the opportunity presents itself. If we end up top 3, we may draft a QB unless someone offers us a treasure trove to move off our top 3 spot Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We are basically at that point of shifting more resources to the defense and becoming an offense more like the Saints. More trades to come or guys gonna be cut, or both. Yeah there have to be some serious decisions made with certain players being cut. I just hope that DQ and this staff are gone as well! It’s truly time for a fresh start. Can’t continue to waste guys like Matt and Julio without winning a championship!! Ergo Proxy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But the opportunity to be in the top 3 without wasting multiple drafts to move up is rare. Ryan would still get a 1st & 2nd in return For Christ sake.

Refried Beans 1,436 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) Hope this is the start of complete tear down, get VB and Tak out now, trade Julio to Oakland. Time to pull a Miami and clean the slate for the next head coach, Team President/GM. Trade VB and Julio to Oakland for some first round picks. Let's go!

Refried Beans 1,436 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Can Falcons trade Jake "Who needs to work at State Farm" Matthews and not take a cap hit? If so get him out he blows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It will hurt the future years but 2020 is the really bad year we have to get past. There is lot of dead weight I would get rid off before coming to Jake Mathews. It will depend on who they hire as HC, an offensive minded or defensive minded guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

4LoveoftheGame 1,653 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I love Sanu, but I still can't root for the Patriots. The playoffs are a sure thing for them, but I will be rooting for a first playoff game upset against them which would give our Falcons a little bit of a higher pick also. ratesforless 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If we end up top 3, we may draft a QB unless someone offers us a treasure trove to move off our top 3 spot There’s lots of enticing opportunities there...Young would instantly make this defense better. Actually drafting Tua or Herbert is also a possibility. Although I’d be pretty shocked. Not mad, but shocked. Ryan is under contract for 4 more seasons after this year. And the treasure trove you speak of is a real possibility. If someone is willing to cough up a Kings ransom for one of those QB’s....you have to consider it Faithful Falcon and FalconsIn2012 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WhenFalconsWin 27,932 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Some fans might get pizzed if we start the dumpster fire sell, but I see it as management cares about the fans. They know we're going no where and by get a multitude of picks we can set up an Oakland/Gruden situation. To me, I'd listen to all offers, including Julio.
