29 days left until the NFL Draft and today we discuss the Atlanta Falcons 

 

Falcons have plenty of options:

 

Do they take a QB to eventually replace Ryan 

Do they take OL to protect Ryan

Do they take defense cause it was awful 

 

What do you think 

I say draft a QB for future

At #4 with 3 QBs likely going in the first 3 picks, I think they either trade back or take Sewell. Can't go wrong getting a stud LT, but with Ryan's cap hit it may behoove them to move off the pick and stock up on some future Day 1 and 2 picks if possible

Chances are Fields or Lance could be there and I wouldn't pass up the opportunity to get a franchise QB. They are unfortunately stuck with Ryan for now.

I'm not as high on Lance, especially in top 10. I think Lawrence/Wilson/Fields is my guess for top 3. I wouldn't be surprised, at all, if they drafted Mac or Trey - but I'm not sold that the #3/4 QB is a better pick than the #1 at any other position in this draft (or the draft haul that would come from trading when a teardown/rebuild is very possibly coming in the next couple years)

Tough choice for the Falcons.  You don't get to draft in the top 5 very often.   They will need a new QB in a couple years.   

But, Ryan had a pretty good season last year - 65% completions, 4600 yards, 26 TD's, 11 INT's.   They could trade down a bit and pick up several good picks.

    • I'm excited about our future. I think Ballard put together 2 very nice drafts in a row. Never thought we would get Latu, thought we had a better chance at Bowers. Still holding out hope for Cross, he flashes greatness than dissappears, hope he's consistent. Hope Woods takes lead in TE room. I keep writing off Granson, but he keeps impressing. Even if Richardson has a mediocre season I think the team around him could get us to 10-7. 
    • I think you understood his words in a "positive" way, but that's not what he said.   He DID NOT say that "most of you would choose to get married..."   That's your implication. Of course, only women can bring children in this world and most of the women will choose to be married and have children, but that's not exactly what he said.   He said, "doing so - while some others will go on to lead successful career in the world - will take you closer to God's Will"    Here's what he said from the transcript:    He could've said, "even if you go on to have a very successful career, and get the greatest accolades of the world, I think the most important title of a woman is :  Homemaker. And, that would take you closer to God's Will"    But, he didn't say so because he wanted to say exactly what he believes women should do and brought God into that by saying that's His Will.    I think he made a mistake of implying that women are generally excited about marriage and having kids and being a homemaker, when that's only part of a woman's life - even though that could be the most cherished and blessed part of the life.   He only looked at how that made his wife's life - his words, not his wife's words by the way - and projected that to all the women. 
    • This happens every single year and every single year people worry about the occasional unsigned rookie when we haven't even gotten into June yet.   Guys/gals... it's really a big nothing burger. Ever since the NFL introduced rookie scale contracts this has been a non-issue. Everything important in those contracts has been made non-negotiable. The negotiable things are largely minutiae - it's about schedule of payment...it's about off-set language, or language about voiding salary payments(for example - can the team void payments for suspensions and stuff like that), etc.   There are two cases I remember in the last 10 years where this has become a problem and the player has actually missed training camp practices because of it - Joey Bosa(because of schedule of payments dispute) and Roquan Smith(because of dispute about the language about voiding payments for suspensions because of play). And as you see... Both of those were top 10 picks. (i.e. more money on the line)...   Holdouts/holdins of day 2 and day 3 picks are pretty much unheard of. I personally couldn't find a single case when I looked for it.    AD seems to be taking part in both rookie mini camp and in OTAs and hasn't missed any practice, we haven't heard about any sort of dispute so far, so my assumption would be there is nothing to see here and it's all formality.    So yeah... Unless we hear there is a problem I would just assume everything is good.
