lju713 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I know alot of folks here want him, but I would rather trade for Jamal Adams. Not saying we are, but taking a FS at 16 won't help this team. Drunken Minotaur Zebra, atljbo and g-dawg 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32wood84white Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Agreed. Safety absolutely is not what we need unless it’s a bonafide stud and Delpit looks nothing like a bonafide stud. g-dawg, Drunken Minotaur Zebra, Refried Beans and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLSlobberKnockers Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I tend to agree that Delpit maybe isn't the best choice. Can't judge a career on one game though. Our best move is.to trade down from 16 if possible. papachaz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely horrible value @16 considering some of the safeties projected to go in rnd 3. It's going to be interesting to see who we pick.

Definitely can’t judge off of one game but I’ve always been in the middle on Delpit and I was certainly hoping to see that type of game in that moment that shows he’s got the extra gear you want out of a first round safety. Though he looked overmatched. Rings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis York Morgan Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I think that people keyed completely on one aspect of his game and ignored both the rest of his game and the other players around him. He has issues in run support, but he has so many positives. He can man up on tight ends, and he did so multiple times without allowing receptions. He has tremendous range and almost had an interception. He's a terrific blitzer and had a sack last night. He has so many positives. I think I'd rather have Chaisson on this team, if we pick an LSU guy in the 1st, but Delpit is a terrific player and can be an asset to any team if they use him the right way. He can straight up be an elite player in the league in the right situation. VTCrunkler, mtldirtybird, papachaz and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFanSince1970 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Re-sign our key FAs, fill major holes with FAs that can play in year one and stock the roster with BPAs at every position, in every round. Rinse and repeat and we'll be stacked. Trust me. Never fall in the needs based Dimi chasm we've been in.

D.B.N. Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Dude is overrated. I see nothing that impresses me about Delpit at all. We have more glaring needs than another friggen safety Refried Beans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would add that a trade down every now and then would be nice, so that we can have more draft capital. Also we need to make some hard decisions and let some guys walk, and stop with this, "Falcon for Life" stuff. FalconFanSince1970 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octoslash Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I'm torn. I've been saying draft the best D player available, but safety? This guy might end up the greatest safety in football history, but is that really what we should do with pick 16? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-TowN.- Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I wouldn’t be upset if we took him. He’s still the best safety in this class because of his insane range and coverage ability. I do worry about his run defense, but I think that is correctable, especially with the addition of Joe Whitt Jr. to the coaching staff. Delpit has the same concerns I had for Eddie Jackson coming out, and he’s turned out just fine. He has a down year, but 2018 film was so good. Is he my first choice? No, but I wouldn’t be upset.

g-dawg Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Safety is just horrible value in the 1st round anyway unless you are getting Earl Thomas or Eric Berry. And I agree w/ the OP - Delpit is overrated and was not deserving of the Thorpe award - they basically gave it to him off of reputation of what he did the previous year. If you are gonna take a hybrid LB/S in 1st round, you take Isaiah Simmons if he fell that far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monolith2001 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I'm not personally interested in a Safety that high (wasn't a fan of taking Keke with our first pick in 2016 either but loved the player and we really needed a Safety then). As far as Delpit's performance, I see a good player but I don't see a real difference maker for 2020. He also doesn't really strike me as a DQ/TD guy either (since that's still going to be a thing in 2020). g-dawg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Epensa(DE), Javon Kinlaw(DT), Isaiah Simmons(OLB/S), and Yetur Gross-Matos(DE - pending outcome of background check/lawsuit at Penn State). Falcons need to be swimming in the pond above - not Grant Delpit. If all four of those guys are gone, trade down if you can.

Their #16 pick needs to be HOF quality and #47, 55 need to be epic. But I digress. g-dawg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
