Skill positions at 8


Recommended Posts

I know, I know. Not ideal in literally everyone's mind. That hasn't stopped the front office literally ever, regardless of GM.

 

If Terry and Arthur decide to go with a skill position at 8, who's your pick? 

 

Save the redundant "No, pick defense." Almost everyone feels that. There's always a chance it doesn't happen though.

 

I won't pretend to know the wrs available, and God forbid TEs. I know Bijan is a big name many consider a top player.

 

What do you think happens if Terry shocks everyone with a skill position?

In a trade down that netted us a 2nd rnd with or without giving any draft capital to the trading team... I'm taking Big O. I know Jonnu is good but Darnell is going to be amazing.

Then hit defense with both 2nd round picks.

I prefer we just take our BPA regardless of.position though. If that's Bijan, then so be it.

By a large margin at that. Sheet, he's probably a top 5 receiver in this draft if he didn't take a handoff. 

Imagine the RB rotation.... I wouldn't cry over it at all. Very rarely are there top 10 RBs in a draft but I truly believe he's one. I know that's not some bold prediction but hey

Man I'm starting to talk myself into it

At 8? Noone at wr.

The best receivers in this draft are TEs. Bijan is the only skill player @8 worth it.

Agreed.

 

I personally want Gonzales at 8. I wouldn't throw my phone over Bijan though. It would be a sight to see. I think it's obvious they're building to a 2 TE run heavy set with the Lindstrom and McGary resigning. I'm here for it. Ground And pound in ATL.

Agree with all. Gonzo is my preference but if we could get a repeat of 98 Falcons? I'm down. If we could have t.o.p. heavily in our favor by taking him, then who's to say he wouldn't be BPA. 

What would we do with CP though?

If they go BPA at 8 Bijan actually might be the BPA unless jalen falls. 

Thats what I JUST now realized. Depending on the board he could easily be BPA. And I wouldn't hate it. Use the draft to bring in the best talent, and use FA to fill needs.

Not smart to depend on a rookie to fill any holes you have imo anyway.

Bijan. Load up on your strengths to build depth for when Patterson contract runs runs out. Top 5 player talent wise who has only fallen because of rb positional value.

runner up JSN. Yes he is just a slot guy but he excels there and was the best Ohio state receiver over the past few years which says alot

I would be ok if we went skill position.

We need offense in a very very bad way.

I think that we scored more than 20 offensive points once in the last 10 weeks of the season.   The season finale against a Bucs team on cruise control.

I dont see a top 10 we in this draft. Do you?

Bijan might destroy people with that 2 TE set now. Offense is going to be a ? But if we can establish the run and thrive on it, keeping Ridder on schedule throughout down and distances, could be worth taking Bijan

Drafting bijan would free up Patterson at wr in the slot like trading for smith frees up Pitts to be out wide at wr or in the slot

True but he just hasn't thrived there traditionally.   But its a different offense and a freak athlete is a freak athlete no matter where he at.

Slot is so important now I don't think there's a huge difference between boundary and slot anymore. The preference is.obviously boundary but I'd rather have a stud on the inside than an average WO

If the Falcons stay at 8 I think it will be a skill position. Either Bijan Robinson, Quentin Johnston or Christian Gonzalez.

I think Bijan would be considered the BPA. He would help Ridder a lot.

The Falcons usually nail the skill position picks in round 1.
