Michael Turner to ATL, No DMC

[jimmyp]

Well, with the big bucks being forked out in FA for a running back, I think it's pretty safe to say now that Atlanta won't be looking to land McFadden in the draft this year. It'd be a hell of a one-two punch, however with their o-line in tatters and a QB that won't take them anywhere it's too much of a luxury pick.

I say Jake Long in the 1st and maybe Brohm in the 2nd (he might fall that far).

[Matt McGuire]

Um Atlanta was never going to take Darren McFadden. Like I said they are going DT (Ellis/Dorsey) or with Jake Long.

I don't think Matt Ryan is an option this team has too many more important needs and they can draft a QB in round 2 or 3. You just can't find an elite DT in the 2nd round.

[jimmyp]

I think JDB could be a great fit in Atlanta. Out of all the current crop of QBs he strikes me as the most pro-ready (even if his ceiling isn't as high as some of the others). They could probably get him in the 3rd if Brohm is gone in the 2nd.

[Matt McGuire]

Or Andre Woodson or Joe Flacco or Chad Henne...

But they need to get their offensive line squared away if they are going to draft a QB of the future.

Jake Long all the way.

Think Turner will be a stud #1 RB or more of a bust in ATL>?

Umm, I wouldn't peg Woodson or Flacco as NFL-ready. Henne maybe.

Jake Long in the first round, maybe Brandon Albert in the 2nd, and JDB in the 3rd would be a dream draft for the Falcons.

I think he was pegging Woodson and Flacco as potential candidates, not saying they were NFL ready.

Neither I'm not as high on him as others and I really don't see what all the fuss was about. But I think he will be a decent starting RB.

Sure, if they fix their o-line. Walter Payton couldn't average 5 ypc behind those buffet-busters.

How is Woodson not ****ing NFL ready? Man that is the biggest bunch of bull**** I've ever heard.

What QB is ****ing NFL ready? No rookie comes in and starts on Day One and if he does it is a BAD situation.

Woodson is going to tear up this league you alll are going to eat so much crow.

Are you serious jimmy? How can you say Henne is better than Woodson? That is a joke.

[Matt McGuire]

Jake Long all the way.

You seem very confident in a "left" tackle that shows average athleticism and a defensive tackle corps that is overwhelming with talent.

[Matt McGuire]

I think he will bust.

didn't walter, when he was with the hapless late 70s bears? he still was awesome, just like barry sanders. you see the program, "pure payton" on nfl network? i stayed up super late one night because it came on at like two and i wanted to watch it.
