Another thing to consider here is how they public would take this. Blank and the GM (TD or not) are going to take some serious heat if they take a QB with a player like Young on the board. Trading Ryan could also outrage some fans. It’s a risky decision business wise 

It would be very much like GB drafting Aron Rodgers when Favre was 35 and still a PB QB

That worked out because Rodgers was good too. That fan base was so loyal to Brett. 
 

Also, I just can’t see Blank actually cutting ties with Ryan. He’s way too loyal to players. He even publicly said that the greatest decision he’s ever made for the Falcons was drafting Ryan. I think he wants to have Ryan retire here. It would be cool to draft Burrow. But I would be truly shocked if it happens

I agree.  Again, it’s just an outside the box way of utilizing a top 3 pick while also dealing with much of our CAP problems while also getting a 1st in return.

 

but I love Ryan and I know we are drafting a quarterback. But if I put my patriots hat on, I feel like it’s a wise move.  But only if you’re sold on Burrow

It also helped that he was drafted at the 24 slot. That was a steal for them

But even the Patriots won’t pull the trigger on Brady. And I got a good feeling Belichick wanted to do that 3-4 years ago. Owners love them some QB’s. And yes, I’m sold on Burrow. Wouldn’t be mad if we drafted him. But I just think it’s never gonna happen. I think we trade the pick to the highest bidder before actually drafting Burrow himself

Sign him for a 1 day contract when he is ready. Joe Burrow fits in our offense much better and be is only going to get better. Reminds me of an athletic Matt Stafford.

I don’t disagree man. It just doesn’t fit Blanks style is all. He loves Matt. I just don’t think he ever lets a GM cut him or trade him. Unless the team after him is offering a kings ransom.

I’m the biggest Ryan fan there is.  However, if Young is gone, you draft Burrows. I see a little A Rodgers in him. You let Ryan know ahead of the draft that is the plan.  You advise him he is still the starting QB as long as his play is top notch.  You also advise him as a professional, he will be doing his part to groom the next Falcon’s QB to take over once he retires in 4-5 years.  I think Ryan is ok with that and it would actually help elevate his game.

This might be our best chance to grab a franchise QB without trading up and riding the QB carousel. Instead we’ll be fielding pathetic lopsided teams while watching Matt regress into Eli Manning. 

 

The accuracy of this kills me. In 11 seasons, we've built a championship caliber roster about twice. I guess you could count 3 if you think our 2017 team was worthy of a championship (I don't).

If Burrow goes on to be another young QB on the rise in the league it's going to suuuck. Especially if we don't get Chase Young.

They say draft BPA but they don't really mean it.

No to Burrow, and not because I don’t like Burrow. Build up the team (esp. OL) so Ryan can benefit now and the next QB can come into a situation where he can succeed immediately. I am for a guy in round 3+ to groom for 2-5 years though. 

Brady got to be Brady because he was drafted into a great team that didn’t need a QB right away, and already built a great team around Bledsoe. 

i repeat, build the team so the next guy can succeed instead of drafting a QB first, which guarantees a top 5 pick or highly paid MVP caliber QB is on the bench.

Yep, supports that QBs do better when drafted in to situations/teams that are built up. He went to an annual playoff team.

if one of these studs falls to top of round two maybe you reconsider, but not top 3.

Brady, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Flacco, Jackson, Dalton, Watson, Wilson, etc. all support that walking into a good situation can provide immediate success.

if this team needs gutted for CAP reasons, taking a QB top 3 is just lunacy (considering I don’t  see how Ryan is financially tradable)
