But realistically, if a WR were involved we would have used a high draft pick on one Yeah but we can’t give up Ridley. We’d have a glaring hole at WR if we did. If that was even a thought in their mind they should have taken Lamb at 16. OilFuturesTrader19, FalconsIn2012, Drew4719 and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But realistically, if a WR were involved we would have used a high draft pick on one I don't think Julio is tradable right now contract wise. Is he? Also, Ridley looks to be a huge part of the offense as well. Unless the Falcons plan to run more, it doesn't make sense to trade away neither of their big WR duo right now.

D.B.N. 5,367 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Would love the signing just not sure we can afford him. Wouldn’t want to give up a first either Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Francis York Morgan 25,619 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 People talking about Jamal Adams a lot, but tbh it sounds like Hooker won't be too expensive (laugh it up furball) and he'd look great in red and black. It's very possible we could get him AND someone like Griffen Ergo Proxy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ya_boi_j 67,672 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 It's amazing seeing people keep naming all of these good players yet the general consensus around here is still coaching sucks. Also, unless they feel Neal cant go, I seriously do not see them trading for someone who's actually a starter. It doesn't make an ounce of sense unless they know for a fact Neal cant go Mister pudding 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There’s been zero indication of either being the case right now. Whether it’s accepted or not they really believe in their guys. Also while I’m at it, do you remember a few years back when the overall consensus was not to trade for or sign overpriced free agents. Groom who you drafted and pay them.

I don't have any confidence that this staff wants to upgrade FS because they think their JAGs are the bees knees. Still fun to speculate on moves that might make the team better though.

Getting one of them at this point could be a valuable deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Faithful Falcon 8,190 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 6 hours ago, DonOfThemBirds said: Young is the 2nd overall pick and is regarded as the #1 prospect in the draft. The Skins have to at least try to see what they have in him 1st before using another high pick on another edge rusher. Again, I will say. The Skins were just one win better than the Bengals. Building up your defense more is being proactive. Chase Young can be as good as advertised, and they could still suck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HEIST 5,268 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I'd trade Takk. I'd be furious if we traded Ridley. jidady 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's right. The Jets wanted a first round pick, but they weren't emphatic about it being a high one. They just wanted someone to beat Seattle's offer of the #31 pick. So, we took 70 cents on the dollar in a trade down with Shanahan. Then, we traded that pick to the Jets. And everyone wound up happy. Denver got Cutler, NY got Nick Mangold, and we got Abe.

Denver got Cutler, NY got Nick Mangold, and we got Abe. Yep, and it was a great deal for us, because had we not traded for Abe we would have drafted that bust Jimmy Williams at 14 instead of in round 2. I really wanted us to take Tamba Hali at 14, but Abe was definitely a win there too...Hali was the last PSU lineman I went full homer and pounded the table for.

Akod2017 219 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) 12 hours ago, DonOfThemBirds said: Also, Jags wanted too much for Ngakoue. They wanted the Raiders 12th overall pick in the draft, which caused Raiders to cut off trade discussions. Jags didn't want Raiders later 1st round pick, they wanted the one just outside the top 10. Which the track record over the course of the last few years suggest is exactly what they would get from us in return. Even if our team upgrades, so did the division substantially.

I specifically remember both of us championing the Falcons taking Hali at #14 instead of doing that trade. But you're right. We would have taken Williams, who fell to the second round because people in the league believed he wouldn't work at corner or safety. We thought he would pair perfectly with DeAngelo Hall, another Tech guy. But Williams was a problem almost immediately, both on and off the field. I'm not sure I ever heard why McKay didn't like Hali, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bigjmw84 382 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 If we had to choose between Grffen and golden, I would have to go Golden. Griffen has had some mental issues throughout his career. Idk if it's worth the risk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
