He may turn out to be good, but I think he could be a bit overrated. I just believe - from what little I know about Nielsen - he likes to get home w/ 4 rushers and Falcons will be looking more for the 6'4", 265lb guys to passrush than the 6'2.5" 245lb guys. Will Anderson is a beast but he was stymied for a large portion of 2022 compared to 2021 - offenses made an adjustment to him.

myatlfalcons Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 1 hour ago, Foo Falcons said: If we get a lot of positions taken care of in free agency, on paper at least, then we should make a run at Anderson. Even if we had to trade up to #3 with Arizona and had to offer say our 2nd this year and a future 2nd-4th let's just say, then I'm all for it. Could end up only needing to go up to #5 with Seattle. We can all agree he's a game changer waiting to happen in the NFL and helps get DE taken care of with a lackluster free agent pool at the position. Arizona and Seattle would be crazy to pass on him but for the right price, maybe they would. Who says no? If the Falcons are trading up it best be for Stroud. JMO.

Rings Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 You don’t trade up that high with QBs on the board because you are competing with this teams wanting a QB, therefor it drives up the value of those picks. A pass rusher will never equal the value of a top potential QB. We also have a TON of holes that will still need filled. If we move at all it should be back to get more picks. There are three reasons you trade up like that. 1) It’s for a QB, 2) You go all because you are one player away, 3) You are the Saints and have a skewed vision of how good you are and think you are a player away every year when you actually aren’t. octoslash, theProf and Hashbrown3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octoslash Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I think the last thing the Falcons should do is trade up in this particular draft. One of the good things...in fact, the ONLY good thing...about having so many holes to fill, is that you don't have to go chasing picks for one single position. They're sitting pretty good with the #8 because we know there will be at least two, maybe three qbs taken in the first 7 picks, so regardless of which direction they go, the Falcons should be picking up a quality player in the first round. (Of course, I've said it before, and I still feel the best move to make is to trade back for more picks) Rings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artys Arryn Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 2 hours ago, EpicBird said: Tyree Wilson and Lukas Van Ness seem much more like Ryan Neilson type players. This is the correct take. I like Anderson a ton, apparently more than most here. BUT, you can't look at Ryan Neilson and think that Anderson or Nolan Smith will be guys who match his profile. I think if Tyree Wilson is there, he's the pick. Otherwise, I'm hoping we luck into Gonzo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely don't see it being for a QB but there's a lot to like with Stroud. Would rather have Young myself but both have a ton of potential. It's not often teams trade up that high for a defender, to my recollection at least, but I wouldn't be mad at the right price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonDaLuvMaker Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Just now, 1989Fan said: They said the exact same thing about Parsons…just saying. You could see it with Parsons. People just ignored it due to his character concerns and saw he was a LB and got it confused with a traditional off-ball LB. I actually compared him to Von Miller and Khalil Mack coming out. I personally just don't see that with Will Anderson. I mean he can still be a really good player, but he just seems overhyped right now. 1989Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t say I agreed with those that said that about Parsons, just that they said it 😂 I’m not sure what to think of Anderson TBH. I may just be so desperate for this team to find another Abe that my vision is skewed and I support any chance at finding a stud. If we can trade 3 this year and 2 next year to move up for a guy, I’m down. Just hungry for a defense man. DonDaLuvMaker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptain Krazy Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Don't see how a trade up is possible. Houston needs a QB and won't risk trading down to #8 when the QBs may be gone. Arizona needs Anderson as much as the Falcons do, makes no sense for them to trade out of #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1989Fan Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Adebawore from Northwestern is a guy I would keep an eye on for the Falcons to target at 44. He has the size and amazing athleticism. I could see the FO and Neilson wanting that guy in ATL. Neilson and Font gonna want their Cam Jordan here. g-dawg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
