I'm the one who ripped on Alford, he's one of the most frustrating players to watch. He makes some good plays, no doubt. But he gets burnt all the time, often doesn't contain on the backside, commits a ton of penalties. He was probably rated so high because nobody threw at him or Trufant last year, because the TE was ALWAYS open since we don't have LB's that can cover. I just think he's more talk than substance
And if Floyd is the best guy available when we pick, I trade back, add a few picks we lost, and take someone at the end of the 1st like Bullard. I think Leonard is overrated, loved him being a dawg, but he's strictly a speed rush guy. Could succeed, not saying he won't, I just don't want the Falcons to take him. Hope he succeeds elsewhere and proves me wrong. But ideally, I'd like Darron Lee, a safety in the 2nd, G in the 3rd or 4th.

I'm trying to be logical about this since we just signed Shelby and are even looking at Chris Long.
So what's the position breakdown so far?
SDE: Shelby, Goodman, (Long?)
SDT: Babineaux, Hageman
DT/NT: Hageman, Jarrett, Mbu
WDT/DE: Clayborn, T. Jackson
LEO/WDE: Beasley, Starr
MIKE: (J. Freeman?), Worrilow
SAM: Reed
WILL: ???
CB: Tru, Alford, Collins, (Boykin?)
SS: Ishmael, King
FS: Allen, Therezie
Okay, so the deficiency is blatantly obvious. We literally don't have a WILL backer on the roster right now.
My draft choices for our first pick are:
1a. Darron Lee
1b. Shilique Calhoun

I actually think Calhoun will be there when we pick at 48. I agree though, if Lee is there at 17 someone needs to be sprinting to that podium.
Wouldn't mind taking Hunter Henry in the second round.

Falcons sign WR Mohamed Sanu.
5 years, $32m, $14m guaranteed. Breaks down to $6.4m/yr, however he's only about a $4.3m cap hit this year.
It's clearly back loaded and will likely only last 3-4 years. He'll get maybe $17-$20m when it's actually done.
That's still way too expensive IMO. He better give us at least 60-70 receptions for 800-900 yards and 5-6 TD's to make that worthwhile.

This deal is bad news. I'm not sure what this guy is bringing that we could not of got from Roddy the next two years. That is just my humble opinion on the matter.

Thats probably the starting defensive line right now. We can still go after a rush end(LEO) in the first round. That would cause Beasley to move to the WILL spot, where he played, and excelled, the last few games of the year. He will be our Bruce Irvin. Would give us a lot of flexibility, and we could move Beasley all over the field in three different positions.

Sure, if you like wasting your first rounder on a selfish terd that never lived up to the hype and gets bullied in the run game. Take off your fricking blinders. He isn't worth a first round pick.

Bing bing bing! We have a winner! Here sir, have an upvote.

Uhh, Bruce Irvin is a SAM.
And no way is Beasley good enough in pass coverage to play the WILL.

We just signed Sean Weatherspoon to a vet min 1-year deal.
I'll be surprised if he makes it out of training camp without a big injury.
