Seems like he was made for the Lions. | ||

Mayhew's philosophy is BPA in the draft, and then address glaring needs in FA. I reallllly want to see the season next year just to see what Detroits D line can do. Several QBs might end up dead next season. Fairley is a good addition as he will be able to play DE on rushing downs and can move inside for passing situations. The Lions like to show unusual fronts, many times last year they had Suh rushing the edge out of a two point stance with KVB or Lawrence Jackson down inside and they will be able to do a lot more of that now. Avril (8.5 sacks) Lawrence Jackson (6 sacks) KVB (4 sacks) Turk McBride (5 sacks) Suh (10 sacks) plus Corey Willams and Sammie Lee Hill anchoring as very good run stopping DT's will create quite the rotation up front. | ||

As a Falcons fan, I did NOT see this coming. Still, can't say I'm too bothered about it since our other starting WR, Michael Jenkins, is the only WR in NFL history to start 3+ seasons and have ZERO 100 yard games. Seemed like an awful lot to give up though. Dimitroff must be very confident we're going to be picking in the high twenties or thirties every year.

We could of got a great DE at 27, and a good WR in the 2nd (titus young).. instead we mortgaged our future for a WR who cant even catch. sigh. this is why they will never get back to the superbowl. Horrible coaches and stupid decisions when things are starting to look good. Its painful, getting SO close to a superbowl then fucking it up. What coach is horrible? Mike Smith's been doing an astounding job. Him and Thomas Dimitroff have been the REASON things are starting to look good. Get out of here with this overreaction bullshit. What DE could we have taken at 27? Heyward or Bowers? I don't see Heyward being an instant impact and probably won't overtake Biermann/Sidbury any time soon, and there's obviously something very off about Bowers's health for him to fall from potential #1 overall pick to not even a first rounder. It looks like we gave up a lot, but so long as we go into the playoffs each year it's giving up a very late first rounder, a very late second rounder, and a pair of fourths to move up 21 spots. Yes I would have liked to see an elite DE, but there really aren't any in this year's draft even were we to trade up. With the amount of talent we have on offense (Ryan/White/Gonzalez/Turner) it's clear that something was wrong with the passing game last year. It was decent but nowhere near the level it should have been on. Hopefully Julio Jones solves that. | ||

This isn't even including the 1st and 4th in next years draft. Unless Julio Jones is a young, cost-controlled Larry Fitzgerald, or at least significantly better than AJ Green, I can't see this going great for Atlanta. | ||

The trade seemed to display a distinct lack of understanding of value. Julio Jones is good, GREAT even...but how many receptions/yards/touchdowns/wins is he worth over John Baldwin+pick 59+pick 124? This isn't even including the 1st and 4th in next years draft. Unless Julio Jones is a young, cost-controlled Larry Fitzgerald, or at least significantly better than AJ Green, I can't see this going great for Atlanta. Yeah the Falcons really, really wanted AJ Green but Cinnci apparently backed out at the last second. They didn't give up as much as it appears so long as they continue getting into the playoffs. Two picks in the late 20s and one at the bottom of the second round don't seem that bad for a #6. That said, if the Falcons somehow flop out of the playoffs this year then they're absolutely boned by this trade. I think they figured that their major needs were DE and WR, and there was no DE comparable to Julio Jones in the draft. Biermann has shown flashes of brilliance but we haven't really seen anything out of Sidbury yet. Still, an elite prospect WR helps capitalize on the short window the Falcons have before Gonzalez and Abraham retire moreso than two very late first rounders and a very late second rounder. | ||

Any Raiders fans know who we should draft in the second round? From last season, I thought our biggest weakness was Wide Receiver, but I really hate Jason Campell. We're prob. ganna get a CB to replace Nnamdi. | ||
