The bigger question is what does ATL do at 8 now? I see 3 options:

1) Draft a LB/Edge rusher
2) Draft a "#1 WR"
3) Trade down and pickup the best OLine/DLine available to your new spot and stack up another #2 or #3 rd pick.

Thoughts?

Well now that they have paid Cousins a huge contract, the only way I would take a shot at QB would be with Milton in the 5th. I think they have to go Edge unless something crazy happened and either Nabers or Odunze fell to them. Have seen some rumors the Vikings may trade 11 and 23 to move up for a QB. So maybe you show interest in JJ to make that happen. I would take 11 and 23 in a heart beat. There are 3 really good edge players so if you dont get Turner then at 11 you still may get either Verse or Chop. There will be really good WRs in the 2nd at their pick. So make the trade and go edge, cb and wr. It really would depend on whats there at 23.

A lot of the draft simulators and mock drafts, if they could swing the Vikings trade you would be looking at Arnold and Chop or Turner and Kool aid.

4. Draft Joe Alt if he's on the board or Amarius Mims if he's not. OT is a need right now even if no one wants to admit how bad the team fricked up by resigning McGary last year.

At 8 you always take the best available player unless you need a QB who was going to go top 10 or 15 and you think he is your franchise QB. Otherwise, best available player.

However the UFL guys work out there are some really good players there. This WR from San Antonio, Kirklin looks really good.
