Foo Falcons Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) If we lose out and Cincinnati (vs. HOU) and Carolina (vs. WAS) win this week then we are at #3. I'm definitely on board with selecting our future QB but if we aren't able to trade down and we aren't comfortable with the QBs on the board then what about Sewell? He would be a dominate LG for us right away and could take over for Matthews probably sooner than later. Sewell would instantly upgrade our running game. Pair him with a top HB, say Najee Harris, in the 2nd round and we have the making of a solid running game. I like Farley at CB but thats too high for him and I'm not sold on a QB at the moment other than Lawrence who obviously won't be there. Again I would prefer to trade down but it takes two to tango and if we can't find a partner then Sewell would be a solid pick. Assuming Lawrence and Fields go 1 and 2. This might not be the best case scenario but I would be on board with it for sure, especially pairing a big HB with him. The rest of the draft can be defense with a TE sprinkled in. Really like the Jake Furgesson kid out of Wisconsin at TE in the 3rd or 4th.

PriMeTiiMe Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Yes, hes the best player in the draft. Yes even better than Lawrence. you draft him and move Jake to LG. Francis York Morgan, Ergo Proxy, JDaveG and 14 others 16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvinthemartian Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 It would be REALLY hard to pass on Sewell if he is there at 3. Really hard. This would be a classic case where “NEED” and “BPA” meet. Scott1988, TheeTKOBeatz, Falcons Fan MVP and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989Fan Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I would not bat an eye and taking Sewell third, then slide Jake into LG or trade for a round 2 pick. him, TLaw and Parsons are easily the 3 best prospects in the draft. We either need to get to 3 or hope a team drafts for need and 2 QBs go before our pick. Dr Long Shot and Ergo Proxy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geaux_Falcons Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Trade out for a haul. Cin might even move up and we could still keep a top 5 pick BroadwayBlueBleeder, Ergo Proxy and blknoble357 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconBlood23 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 This move would even make financial sense if we want to upgrade the line and save money. If Sewell is there, you take him and put him at LT and either move Matthews somewhere or make him a post 6/1 cut and save cap, if I remember correctly, his cap hit would be lower than what would cost to keep him, so saving on cap and upgrade a position at the same time. I wouldnt put him at LG tho, Gono needs to start and play, the guy is extremely solid and should have started earlier than today, we might even have a decent oline for the first time Foo Falcons, Ezekiel 25:17 and celtiksage 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just not mathematically possible. Jaguars and Jets have the first two picks locked up. Falcons SOS puts them behind the Panthers and that's only getting harder with their last two games being against the Chiefs and Bucs. That's not even accounting for the Bengals who are currently in the 3 hole. So, as you can see, it's impossible for the Falcons to get the #3 pick. Panthers win + Bengals win we are 3rd pick. Both have winnable games today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bengals win this week their record becomes 4-10-1 which is better than 4-11 which would be our record should we lose. If Carolina wins they go to 5-10 and slide down behind us as well. Its that simple. SOS may end up causing us to side behind Houston should they lose out as well, I'm not sure. But #3 is in fact possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But #3 is in fact possible Houston’s SOS is currently higher than ours, meaning we would most likely stay ahead of them if we both lose out.

Thats my understanding as well. Didnt know if that might change by a few .000 percentages potentially, which is all that separates us, depending on the remaining opponents record. But i don't think it would make a difference anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean hey if he's ready day one to be the starting LT and is a clear upgrade to Matthews immediately than absolutely. Id prefer more power than Matthews has at LG but I'm sure he'd be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
