Not eligible for the draft.

Honestly, this would be a good year for the Falcons to mess around, finish out the season 9-8 and make the playoffs to cement the culture for Art Smith's first year.

The draft doesn't have a lot of top-end talent outside of Thibiedeaux, Neal, and Derek Stingley.

I'd take a momentum changing season with a lot of adversity overcome and be able to have a nice draft where we've got a lot of picks in the first 3 rounds.

I'd take a low mid-20s pick, get someone like Nakobe Dean, Tyler Linderbaum, or Demarlon Leal, and potentially package a 2nd and 3rd to move up to get a WR that can make an impact like Treylon Burkes or Drake London.

We're on our way, and frankly, with the way Ryan has played, we don't need to force ourselves into drafting a QB.

I think there's a pretty good chance we move on from Deion Jones after the season. If we're picking in the 20s, Dean would be a great replacement.

I also think the front office is going to have to think realistically about where they are as a franchise this offseason and make a decision on Grady Jarrett. I'm of the belief that we should look to trade him for the right price because he will be out of his prime and his value will be on the decline by the time this team is seriously ready to compete again.
