Aluminafalcon Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I expect multiple defensive backs drafted this year. If their evaluation says he is worth pursuing then I will look closer as I trust their eyes better than mine. A lot of analysts are seeing a very deep db group this year.

Killing Floor Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Please draft Power 5 players ONLY in the first 5 rounds. No matter how good they show at the bowl or combine. I swear. Turn around. Put down the jewels. Walk away. And did I read that correctly? Played at JUCO and “just 6 years later” he’s taking interviews? Ya know what? I take it back. I take it all back. Look at our secondary! I absolutely could see us skipping right over Witherspoon or Gonzalez. Bring him home! He made one play against Drake a couple years ago in a non-conference game. Go for it.

This power 5 crap is crap. What’s crap is the last 10 years: Panthers, 4 postseason appearances including Super Bowl (loss) Bucs, 3 postseason appearances including Super Bowl champions. Saints, 5 postseason appearances, 6 winning seasons. Falcons, only 2 winning seasons, 2 postseason appearances, SB loss. So if your point is we should have complete confidence in our D2 and FCS and lower bracket scouting we can just agree to disagree. I appreciate kicking over rocks. But sometimes rocks are just rocks. And we have had 17 .500 or better seasons in history. And the JJ Watts and Miles Garrets and Micah Parsons are out there in this draft group. But they didn’t play at Kent State or William & Mary. Go Falcons. Don’t F it up. FalconJim and papachaz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to really say that. 2 Big12 quarterbacks in the Super Bowl, for example. like I said, I appreciate turning over rocks but sometimes they’re just rocks.

Obviously I'm not saying to not draft from the power 5 at all, but to only draft from the power 5 is nonsense. That didnt help us with Beasley, takk, ect.

jidady Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 NFL Draft Scout doesn't rank Shelton in the top 250 prospects. So, we're talking about someone we'd take in the 5th round or later. ATLskinjob, ShoNuff, Herr Doktor and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLskinjob Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 That was a good little read. Seems like an interesting prospect with some potential. I like that we're looking at a more lanky CB. I much prefer that kind of build to the really short but twitchy DBs that Dimitroff always went after. I also like that he's apparently a talker on the field.
