    Gregory is so small, I don't like him really high in the draft

    I think he is too light and I really just don't want a project or someone that isn't closer to being ready. I'd rather go OT if we want that.

    We need an immediate contributor. Honestly I'm starting to think Dupree over the others at 8. :idk: Thoughts? I know he's rising on draft boards.

    dupree is just as much of a project as Gregory. Probably more. He can't bull rush, and most of his sacks came against poor competition.

    Size/speed is harder to teach than technique IMO.

    I'd rather have Dupree than Gregory. He's going to be playing at like 215-220 half way through the year

    @TheFalcoholic: Dimitroff just said "massage the draft board." No context provided and/or necessary.

    @TheFalcoholic: Dimitroff talks about a "really good group of guys" in the 3rd-5th rounds at RB. Look for the #Falcons to make an RB pick in that range.

    @vxmcclure23: Quinn said he loves evaluating the running back position. Not looking for a specific type but wants the physical backs, of course.

    @vxmcclure23: ``Man is he tough,'' Quinn on Todd Gurley


    @CraigSagerJr: Quinn on Todd Gurley "Man is he tough"

    Dimitroff "He runs with that attitude and anger you want."

    Gurley at 8 :smug: /TD

    I'd be down for trading up to get Leonard Williams or Dante Fowler, but we have so many needs and that will cost a ton.

    Trade em our 2016 5th rounder.

    Trade back or sit still. TD will probably trade up and draft Amari Cooper :loldog:

    So if we are at 8 and Williams, Fowler, Gregory, Beasley are gone and you've got

    Dupree
    Ray
    Trae Waynes
    all the OL

    left, who do you like?

    I can't see all of those guys being gone honestly

    But in the case it did happens I like Dupree

    That said Ray will turn out to be way better and I'll look like an idiot

    I'd go Dupree with the 1 and pray Jake Fisher falls to the 2nd round. Still think our run game would look better with OL help over drafting a RB.

    I am not in love with Ray which of course means he is the next Derrick Thomas

    I loved Khalil Mack. Falcons winning a useless game in Canada against Buffalo or Mike Shanahan basically throwing a game in 2013 cost us a shot at him.

    Dupree, OL, or trade down. Even if Beasley or Gregory are on the board at 8 for me.

    I really only want Williams or Fowler at 8 - otherwise accumulate picks.

    Yeah I praying someone trades to 2 to take Mariota so the Jags will take Williams. I doubt Fowler makes it past them if Williams is gone.

    @AlbertBreer: Lots of teams looking at idea of moving down, here's one inquiring on trading up: The Falcons. Rivals believe target is an impact defender.

    Blank should fire him on the spot if he trades up. That would be a horrible fucking decision.

    On my drive in this am and the Jagtards I listen to on sports talk radio were discussing the fact that rumor out of Atlanta has us wanting to trade up and the Jags are the prime candidate at #3. They were drumming up all the scenarios, "gotta get at a minimum this years first and next years first, plus this years second possibly." :killme: :ohdear:

    I really hope CB is right and we are leaking shit on purpose.
