Realistic Falcons Draft...Potential Starter at Every Pick.Rememberance of 2016

[GATXBOI]

First Off To the Mods I apologize firsthand for posting another mock here, but here is where the most action is and i really would like opinions on this mock.

Now to business I do these five round mocks because it really makes you think about Who and Where you want to draft intensively, not the other way around.

With the 16th Pick the Atlanta Falcons Select: Javon Kinlaw 6'6 310 DT South Carolina... This Man is A Calais Campbell Clone and to plug him inside next to wreak with demolish any interior.

 

With the 47th Pick The Atlanta Falcons Select: Bryce Hall 6'1 200 CB, Virginia... This man right here has all the tools to be a lockdown corner in the league. This reason we trade Trufant.

With the 55th Pick the Atlanta Falcons select: Kenny Willekes 6'4 260 EDGE Michigan State... Future SDE move Takk to LEO...Ryan Kerrigan Clone

With The 78th Pick the Atlanta Falcons select: Eno Benjamin 5'10 210 RB Arizona State... Productive very Smart player could replace or compliment Freeman with Ito and Ollison.

 

 

With The 109th Pick The Atlanta Falcons select: Clyde Edwards-Helaire 5'8 209 RB LSU.. This dude is a stud and this is on the insurance the team does part ways with Freeman. Benjamin Edwards Ollison Ito. I know I know double dipped  draft fell that way

 

With the 139th Pick The Atlanta Falcons select: Yasir Durant 6'7 330 OG Missouri..

Not much video on him

 

 

 

What does everyone think?

I like the first 4 picks, especially Wilikes, but I'd take a flier on a.LB before taking a 2nd RB

Thanks this was on the strength of resigning CAmpbell and going again with Foye Debo Campbell

I'm ok using 2 mid-round picks on RB's. But no way C E-H lasts anywhere NEAR tht long. He will go late-1st/early 2nd.

Also, Kinlaw is just another role player. Might he start? Sure, but on our defense that's not exactly a high bar.

At #16, there will not be a guaranteed starter. Lucky to get a meh-starter or reasonably functional role player. The odds of drafting a dominating star are very slim.

 

The last 10 #16 picks:

1. Brian Burns
2. Tremaine Edmunds: good player
3. Marlon Humphrey: good player
4. Taylor Decker
5. Kevin Johnson
6. Zack Martin: bonafide stud
7. EJ Manuel: bust, out of the league
8. Quinton Coples
9. Ryan Kerrigan: bonafide stud
10. Derrick Morgan

2 studs, 2 good solid pro starters, and 6 nobodies.

We're screwed. The problem is that I also despise the thought of deliberately tanking. So the only good outcome for me is a deep run in the playoffs or a total genuine collapse.

I like it but I’d rather grab a LB or DB that can be depth or special teams instead of the second running back.

Um, aside from Manuel and Coples (who were drafted by bad teams) that is a pretty good list.

Lets not forget that Neal was pick 17 and is a stud who has caught the injury bug.

When has a DQ defense, either as a coordinator or HC ever drafted a first round DT? Answer is never. I honestly don’t see that changing. If a guy like Aaron Donald were the topic—maybe. He was a stud in college had despite being interior , he’s still a pass rusher in the level of a stud DE. And he played DE with phillips in that attacking 34 often

i don’t see Kinklaw as the pick.

The only bust on this list is EJ Manuel.... Everyone else on this list did their thing in their NFL career.

Burns- rookie balled out this year.

Edmonds amazing tackler just like his brother.

Humphrey.. solid cornerback.

Decker.. suitable lineman

Johnson..starting cornerback

Couples.. was a monster dlinemen with Rex Ryan schemes.

Morgan... Folks was foaming out the mouth to get him here.

Agree. First 4 picks are golden, bro. But we need a LB way more than a 2nd RB.

[celtiksage]

Willekes and Clyde EH will be studs but move the LSU RB up to replace the AZ ST one. I wouldn't mind Hall either. And the Mizzou OG, I'm not sure which one he was, but they all looked like hot garbage. 

This draft should be easy. First round, best ranked player from OH ST, LSU, Clemson, UGA. Second through seventh round rinse and repeat. We are regressing every year. Top 5 picks should start in year 1 or 2 with this strategy. :-)

I don't see it changing either but maybe that's the problem. Clearly DQ and TD don't have an eye for finding even a passable edge player. Ive always been a fan of building the lines from the inside out. Kinslaw would be a very good compliment to Grady on the interior

Brian Burns looks quite good for a rookie

LOL. 
 

FYI arguably the greatest player in NFL history, Jerry Rice,  was the 16th pick in 1985 draft. See also Troy Polamalu.

[Monolith2001]

Really like the first three picks but I think we need better linemen before we need more RBs.

[OilFuturesTrader19]

2 running backs............why???
