texasfalconfan Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Interesting story. So I’m on a cruise, and I get into a conversation with this guy at the sports bar. So I’m talking about the draft and the falcons and I mention how I wanted us to take max Crosby with our 3rd but we gave it up and the guy was like, that’s cool because he’s my brother and is Sitting right over there. He is a really cool guy. Small world lol Drew4719, slick0ne, Francis York Morgan and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When picking a player do you want the guy who you believe is the best or a quality guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be good with 3 or 4 guys and let the draft fall to you. If I have a choice between 1 guy I think can be amazing and 2 or 3 I think will be good I'm going for amazing. You wanna talk about playmakers but then back track and pick scraps. You can't have it both ways. I'd rather draft 3 awesome guys than draft 1 good, 2 alright, and 4 bust. g-dawg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcons_Frenzy Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I think a good question would be.... What kind of player would Crosby be as a Falcon? Of course we will never know. I doubt the Falcons would have made use of his services as much as Oakland did. In all likelihood the Falcons wouldn't know what they have yet. Of course different schemes equals different results as well. Francis York Morgan and Ergo Proxy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the draft is such an unknown that this just isn’t the right strategy. 2008: TD traded #34, #43 & #104 for his guy Sam Baker 2013: Falcons trade a 3rd and 6th to move up 8 spots for Trufant with Rhodes still available 2017: Falcons trade a 3rd and 6th for Takk 2019: Falcons trade 3rd for Kaleb None of those look like great moves to get TD’s guy. The only one that’s worked is Julio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasfalconfan Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 I will say this, he was not a fan of TD, said he came across arrogant. He said he was convinced the falcons didnt want him when he left his meeting with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one that’s worked is Julio Sam was decent when healthy and that wasnt his guy. Their was a run on T and he panicked. Gtfo Trufant was awesome until he got hurt and now Rhodes is playing even worse than Trufant lol Takk I like but we could have done better, TJ Watt was a guy I wanted but he is a 3-4 OLB so I doubt he'd have sucess here under Quinn. And Kaleb was good for a rookie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snafu Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Sad thing is that even if we had gotten him, he'd likely still be an unknown for us, just like Cominsky is currently. We absolutely wasted huge money on Vic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
