the cb. vontae davis from illinois, massaquoi would be a nice pick up, asher allen for a cb in the later rounds, hopefully michael johnson from Ga Tech, and one of those linebacker from USC...
If they want the fame, go ahead and let them have it
again Massaquoi would not be a nice pick up at all. and asher allen is just laughableOriginally Posted by JTM

MJ will be gone before we pick. Allen will be avail later in the draft, 3rd or 4th rounds. LB from usc will prob be gone too.

Mathews will most likely make it to the falcons pick so I think that would be a solid pick.
The top 3 WR's will be gone before Atlanta, but Heyward-Bey out of Maryland would make a great selection and would probably take over as #1 before the end of the year.
Johnson is flying up draft boards right now and probably wont make it to Atlanta. Alot of teams need DL help.
Vonte Davis will also make it into the second round. He has TONS of talent, but he is still a little raw. If he is there in the second round he will be a great pick-up and would be ready to play come the 2010 season. I like Jenkins out of OSU better though because he is more physical and can play both FS and CB depending on the situation.
My darkhorse pick, RB out of UCONN if he is available, Donald Brown. He would compliment Turner perfectly and give him some rest. He is simply more talented than Norcross.
Who are you referring to as the top 3 receivers available? I know Crabtree and Maclin are the obvious 1 and 2, but with all the recent talks of Harvin I don't know if people are still considering him as the 3rd best. I guess we'll have to wait and see, but I get the feeling Harvin will still be available for the Falcons 24th overall pick and he has the versatility to play much more than just WR.
That said, I doubt the Falcons are going to go after a WR in the 1st round. I think they might go for Pettigrew if he's still available, if not then they'll obviously focus on defense.
Hakeem Nicks out of UNC or maybe even Brian Robiskie out of OSU. I think Harvin is more of a homerun threat than either of the 2 but Harvin's intelligence is in question right now(just like the 24 other whiz quiz failures at the combine) as is his size and his durability questions. Harvin may even slide out of the first round. I do think Harvin makes the most immediate impact on whatever team he ends up on if they have him returning kicks.
I wouldn't be worried about his size, there are plenty of WRs in the league that are 6ft or smaller and are very good. Questioning his durability is understandable, but none of his injuries have been serious enough to keep him out for very long. There are no excuses for him failing the piss test at the combine though, that's just poor decision making to say the least, but not as bad as some of the choices many NFL players have made.
I've seen some mock drafts that still have him going later in the first round and I've seen a few that put him all the way into the third round. Personally, I'd be extremely surprised to see him slip back that far, I think he's still a very good late first round pick and anyone that can pick him up later than that is getting a deal. He's obviously coachable under the right people and a huge offensive weapon, as seen in his UF days.
No 1 thing is going to drop him, but all of his issues add up to me and I dont see first round in him. I'm not trying to diminish what he did in college at all, but the pro game is FAR faster than college is. Hell, there are LB's that are running the same 40 times as a WR these days.
If knowshon falls to ATL I'd love that but I doubt it. We dont need a top WR. We have one in White. We need a 3rd WR.

KnoSho is falling in most mock drafts into the late 20's. I have even seen a couple mock drafts that have him drop into the early second round. Its not really a knock on him either, its just that this RB class is so deep that many teams are looking for something else in the first round.
I've seem 16-22 but I dont know if he will fall to ATL. Nor do I think we should spend a 1st on RB. Thats what Turner is for. Need to rebuild the D and a slot WR

Harry Douglas ring a bell? He's better than Massa-whateverthefuck-his name is...
no way, harry douglas is not even all that great, he is pretty small and not nearly as big as massa.
dude massa is not that good. massa=Mr. Big drop
The University of Florida Gators 2008 Football National CHOMPions.
but massa is more physical, has a better frame, you understand where im coming from. he will probably be a bigger threat than harry.
i AGREE THAT WE DONT NEED ANOTHER #1 rb, BUT IF THEY ARE GOING TO GET ONE THEN i LIKE dONALD bROWN MORE THAN mORENO.
Holy caps lock. :-p I say Dline and CB the first 2 rounds, then if Massaquoi is there in the 3rd we pick him up.
97 DX Civic w/ H22 FS
Mass is a good receiver, but there will be more value than him in the 3rd or 4th rounds.
Actually some draft experts say he'd be a good value mid 2nd. He ran in the 4.4s and he has good size and hands have improved.
97 DX Civic w/ H22 FS
Michael Johnson is overrated. He had all the measurables and didnt really produce.
97 DX Civic w/ H22 FS
He has all of the measurables and that is why he will be mid 1st rounder. He isnt a character risk that I have heard of, its just a matter of getting him to go 100% on every play, instead of taking plays off like he did this year.
I've heard Harvin has attitude problems. We'll see. But the Falcons dont need a number 1 receiver. We have one. We have a good 2 also in Jenkins. We need a 3 and a TE. D needs a rebuild too. Let a lot of people go again.
97 DX Civic w/ H22 FS
I'm hopin' they either pick up a DT or OLB in the first, or trade down and get 2 2nd round picks for it. Either way, "In TD I trust"
Meh, havent been impressed with him. Actually, Massaquoi is considered the most under rated Wr in the draft. He is pretty good with lots of upside.
97 DX Civic w/ H22 FS
You should watch the Falcons play on Sunday's
I did. :-p Maybe its b-c we didnt feature him much or w-e but didnt see anything that stood out. Good speed and all but we'll see. Isnt he from Loisville? Anyone recruited by Petrino is fail.ha

UGA 'Homer-ism' is strong with you...
what Massaquoi is a joke.....no way would you even consider him in the first 3 rounds. sorry Mr. Big Drop is not that good.
The University of Florida Gators 2008 Football National CHOMPions.
Asher is rated in the 3rd round by some. Massaquoi played really well actually last year. Lets see what tebow does in the pros
97 DX Civic w/ H22 FS
Massaquoi only had a good year because every defense was focusing on AJ Green. Asher Allen lol wasn't he Mr. should block vs. GT when their running back ran right through that?
The University of Florida Gators 2008 Football National CHOMPions.
GT ran all over everyone. He isnt a great CB but he is a good one, with decent size, good speed, and plays smart. Our Pass D was usually pretty good. It was the run D that kept failing like a kia.

Allen will most likely go in the 4th round as a value flier from the little bit of looking I did.
Tebow needs to prove a few things before he will be considered NFL quality. He needs to show he can move his feet like a QB and not a FB. I see him somewhere in the 4th or 5th round next year based on what he has done the last 2 years. Most likely he will be a TE/FB/QB type that will get most of his playing time for trick plays while he learns to really play another position.
Man your in for a surprise this year. Our new QBs coach has been working wonders with Tebow and Brantley this spring. I think you will be very surprised with Tebow's improvement this year.

shouldnt you be on some "importflorida" or some shit since youre mad hating. Florida this florida that..in case you forgot this is GEORGIA!!! ---key word importATLANTA!!!!
If they want the fame, go ahead and let them have it
Hating on what.. look at the facts UGA madly unachieved last year, and to speak on your keyword most people who live in atlanta are not even from the state if this was a UGA site they would call it importathens lol.
The University of Florida Gators 2008 Football National CHOMPions.
I have heard alot about that, but in all honesty, I will believe it when I see it. It will be easy to go through the growing pains against Citadel and such, but when they play someone with a pulse and its not working well I want to see how they (meaning Tebow and the coaching staff) handle it.
It never ceases to amaze me how many people rag on Tebow for this and that. For such a terrible QB he sure was efficient last season, much more so than the ever so praised Stafford. I'm not saying Stafford is a bad QB, but I'm still not convinced he'll be as good in the NFL as many seem to think.
As a UGA fan I will admit, I am jealous of what Tebow has accomplished for yall. However. Tebow runs left, he's gonna score, OH SHIT, RAY LEWIS JUST KILLED TEBOW!!!! just sayin....lol

lol ray lewis better hope his age doesn't catch up to him this season.
