The one I'm terrified they will take, and this isn't some sort of retaliatory shot, is Leonard Floyd early.
Ragland and Floyd scare me. I don't think either one belong in the first round. I agree, Ragland will be a solid guy you can plug in from day one but we need a legit pass rusher that can cover which is why D.Lee is the best the Falcons can hope for. Nothing wrong with Ragland and I'm not saying he will be a bust I just feel like ...you said...he's limited growth potential wise.
So sick of people saying the Falcons should draft Floyd because he's from Georgia. Dudes a selfish player that disappears in games. That being said, if he doesn't get drafted by the Falcons he's going to be a sack monster just because I said he sucks.

Reggie Ragland in my opinion will never live up to a first round selection and I will lose my shite if the Falcons draft him. I think he's a solid player but not worth the slot.
At worst, he'll be a decent-to-good MLB who makes solid mental decisions on a consistent basis.
I think that makes him late-1st round material. Half the teams in the league would love to have good, smart MLB they can rely on for 5+ years.

Make no mistake, no matter how well or great the Bama players perform, the rant will label them as bust no matter what.

People can bash me, but I think Bosa will be pretty average and people are calling him a generational talent.

I 100% agree.

I'll go ahead and say Tunsil. The only reason being, everybody thinks he's a sure-fire franchise LT.
The expectations are just so high on him, and that's where true busts happen. Not a knock on his ability, he's had a great career thus far.

I've been drinking the Tunsil kool-aid.
I think that guy is a can't-miss prospect barring injury. He came in freshman year in the SEC and was very good against Bama/LSU DL and has only improved each year. He is strong as an ox and has feet like a pass-catching TE.
He's also apparently a very hard worker and great teammate and leader. Everything I've read about this kid makes me more convinced he's going to be a monster if he stays healthy.

I mean, he won't be drafted until the 2nd or 3rd round. Kind of hard for a 3rd round pick to be a bust.
Henry's going 2nd round, and he won't be a bust. He will be underwhelming though. Just like Mark Ingram. To win a heisman and then be a mediocre at best pro player.
Nkemdiche is one that I believe will be a bust.

Because of talent or because of his penchant for the weed?

If he does absolutely nothing as a NFL player, he could be a bust. But by definition of LSU fans and tRANT trolls, Mark Ingram is a bust and he's had decent seasons in N.O. as of late and was even re-signed.
Won't hear any arguments saying the organization did the right thing.
For a 1st round pick, Ingram is a bust. He's missed way too many games and overall hasn't performed like a 1st round pick at RB should. He's averaging 639 rushing yards per season, his best season ever was 964 yards and he's ran for 3,195 yards in 62 games played which means he's averaging a whopping 51.5 yards per game (that he actually plays in) with only 26 rushing TDs. When you look at the stats, nothing indicates Ingram has been a "success" as a 1st round pick in any of these stats.

think Reggie's ceiling is lower than maybe D. Lee from Ohio State's, but I think he floor is also way higher. At worst he is a very solid MLB, at best he is a pro-bowl caliber player. I think the bust potential with him is super l
This. My opinion of Reggie has changed. He will be a solid MLB with some pro bowl upside.

Robert Nkemdiche IF he's taken in the 1st round, although that might be doubtful at this point.. Dude will be a more out there version of Ricky Williams. I don't see him being easy for coaches to handle once he gets the freedom money affords.
I think the most productive will be A'Shawn Robinson.
The biggest bust overall: The QB from NDSU. No way should you take a QB in the top 10 that has only FCS experience. He'll have a huge learning curve with pace and atmosphere. Taking him that early will put way too much pressure on the kid. Too bad for the kid, because he's got potential.

I'm with you. He is strikes me as someone who is much closer to his ceiling than others in the draft. I don't see him as an elite athlete.

Tell me about Floyd. He's getting some talk to the Gmen at 10.

It's interesting, the PFF guys think A'Shawn is a 3rd round quality player. I don't know if they are right or wrong, but they basically say he's a non-existent pass rush guy and as a rush defender he isn't as valuable as Jarran Reed.
They think he'll be a solid NFL player, but their evaluation of him made me curious to see how he performs at the next level (and if NFL teams feel the same way about him ie he falls in the draft).

Flacco wasn't taken that much farther back at 18th and look what he's accomplished.

Sure, there are always exceptions, it just seems like a long shot. I guess desperate times call for desperate measures, and the Browns usually are just that. I guess if RGIII can be serviceable for them in the short term, Wentz might just work out.

yeah, and he's an exception. You have to go back to 1995 ton find a non-FCS QB even drafted in the 1st round (Steve McNair). It's a big risk, which is why teams are hesitant to do it. I guess this year the QB class is just that weak
