bigjmw84 355 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I think Oliver could be a good fit at FS. Ulbrich implemented a hybrid role and he excelled in those new wrinkles. He has the prototypical size and speed for the position. He is still young and is one good coach from putting it all together I think We could trade down 4-5 spots and be in play for Farley or Surtain while getting at least a 2nd and 3rd round pick. If we were to get Surtain int the 1st and a guy like Eric Stokes in the 3rd we could truly get the secondary together. CB:Terrell/Stokes/Kazee FS:Oliver/Kazee SS:Neal/Hawkins CB:Surtain/Dennard/Shefield Faithful Falcon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NWFALCON 4,031 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) Oliver loses ALL of his technique when he reacts or reads something incorrectly and get beat. Do you want that as a safety? I don’t. Measurables don’t make the man. Edited January 9 by NWFALCON Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigjmw84 355 Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Not a fan of Kwity at 7. Secondary, RB, and Pass Rush should be the focus if we don't go QB early. A qb available at 4 guarantees us 5-6 picks total in the 1st 3rounds, and that would be huge for the new regime to put its finger print on the organization.

FalconofShadows 1,248 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Oliver doesn't have the instincts for FS but i don't see a great FS in the draft (as of now) and we can't afford a great one in FA. Who knows what we do there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Herr Doktor 6,051 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I am a big believer that a certain amount of cross training is good. But, I'm a bigger fan of having players drafted to play a natural position. Teams get cute with selecting raw athletes, and then try to coach them up. The failure rate is high.

Fernando C. 1,040 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 If Fields is not there.. we need to trade down and grab a extra 2nd ... we need 2 second rounders to draft a RB and S... they are some good ones in the 2nd that WOULD start right away... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smiler11 6,204 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 He doesn't strike me as the type of corner who would do well at safety. He's long and rangy but struggles with short area quickness and awareness. He's much more suited to playing boundary corner in my opinion. Kendall Sheffield might be a good candidate though - he's always struggled when his head is turned away from the QB and is far better when the ball is in front of him.

autigerfan 806 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I've said this before as well. No harm in trying the experiment in the off-season. If he doesn't work he gets cut but I think it is unlikely he rises above a #3 or likely a #4 CB in the NFL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blizzard_falcon 2,428 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Plenty of good FS targets who will be there in the 3rd or 4th round. This is a solid and deep rookie safety class, especially at FS Quote Link to post Share on other sites

celtiksage 1,935 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I can see us drafting one for sure, but there are also quite a few S candidate FAs that would be upgrades in Atl and some of them would be fairly cheap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lornoth 12,016 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I'm tired of seeing us line a CB up at FS, we've been trying that for years. Go get a real one in the draft, there's loads that would be better than what we have right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
