Sidecar Falcon Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Trade back with the Patriots Pick at 15th overall: Jaylen Waddle At that point trade back again and get more picks/Harris. Ergo Proxy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xianshino Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Not a fan of trading back to 15 for a WR. I think if we trade back that far we will go defense enginerd, Ergo Proxy, English Falcon44 and 7 others 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GritsPittz Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 If waddle is still there at 15 I'd be pretty excited with that pick. We could take care of our PR and have a dangerous special teams. Both Ridley and Julio can't seem to play 16 games and now they have to play 17 so he could help out on offense as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think we should stay put and grab Pitts, but I wouldn't be upset. Imagine that. A corp made of 3 first round picks. Not to mention he could learn from 2 elite WRs.

Beef Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Absurd. Not only is Waddle gone by 15, but the capital NE would have to spend to move up for the 4th best QB isn’t worth the 4th best QB. AND, with all the holes we have, TF goes WR with his first ever Falcons pick? A position group which by most opinions we are already stacked at? Is Gage that underrated? The kid is a gem and hands down would be a #2 on probably 30 teams in this league, and yet he’s our #3. But we need another first round WR??? 🤦🏼♂️ SMH Vandy and gritsnsausage 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we need another first round WR??? 🤦🏼♂️ SMH Your concept isn’t wrong, but consider: Gage is in his final year of rookie contract. He is likely getting paid outside Atlanta if he keeps trending up because Atlanta will prioritize extending Calvin; if Ridley has a big year again and will want to avoid having a big cap number for 2022, due to the 5th Year Option, which creates less cap space than a backloaded extension would allow. Then, you have some concern over Julio making it through a season without nagging lower body injuries. The foot is always gonna be tender at times because of the severity of the fracture before. But, repeated leg injuries moving ahead is probably the main concern. On top of this, Hurst is also at a similar spot to Ridley; although likely a cheaper year 5 option on his rookie deal and right now even with a big 2021 year 2 with Matt...could play on the option if Atlanta wants him to stay for 2022; and avoids trying to extend both Ridley and Hurst at the same time while JJ is still paid $20M. Therefore, a receiver isn’t a big stretch but it IS if Atlanta trades Down. In that sense, I agree with you because if it’s a receiver first approach but moving to the mid first round? That’s woefully inefficient in a vacuum anyway. Just take Pitts or even Chase at 4. Otoh, Atlanta may well like Sewell for locking down the OL with existing receiver core moving forward. Take a defender all day at 15 unless BPA was different. I can understand the pick but would prefer to stay at 4 or even trade down again and take Najee.

Nah I’d just as soon take Sewell at 4 or the best TE or WR even; but even that is rich. The Pats would definitely need to give us their 2022 and 2023 1st round picks. As a start by point. But, if we missed out on Parsons and the best 2 CBs... See, I’d consider Najee and Asante Samuel Jr as my first two picks. One at 15 and the other at top of round 2. Depends on what else we got from NE to justify Najee early like at 15. The value would be relatively bad, given RB durability and it being the most expensive rookie. I’d much rather trade back again unless the way they have the draft fall has another defender worth grabbing at 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcons007 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Waddle is one of the value picks in top of the draft. He fell because of injury but IMO there isn’t much separating Chase and him. I think Waddle(barring injury) can be better pro than chase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hyper focusing and forgetting about what NE would give up. Does that mean Atlanta trade Gage before the season or during the draft and gets multiple 1s and NEs 2nd and more as well for 2021? Give me their next 2 first rounders and a couple 2nds then we’ll talk. Because, going WR first is almost waving by to Gage. So if it got us more capital back from Gage than him walking next offseason as an UFA; wouldn’t it be best to get more from NE in this scenario by throwing him in?

I don’t think WR has anything to do with Gage. It’s more on options from Julio/Ridley and Hurst. Gage can be the 4th WR, a possession guy. PFF didn’t imply what type of compensation for the picks. But I would do one similar to what Niners gave up. Ergo Proxy and Mid-Nite-Toker 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaning towards thinking a "receiver" isn't a bad choice with big decisions involving CR and JJ. I don't think it necessarily means Gage is gone.

So, if it helped a package trade for multiple 1s out of NE then maybe it could be worth including him, but I concede that’s jumping and overreacting... Gage is still an excellent depth piece and chain mover already. Keep cheap depth. It’s just receiver starts to get crowded and I doubt Atlanta can afford Gage long term after 2021; if he has a nice year and hits UFA (with JJ, CR and even HH possibly going off year 2 with Matt; let alone if another receiver comes in...all of those are on contract for 2022) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
