If it comes down to it and they are both there at 15 would you take Mykel Williams or Jalon Walker?

Jalon Walker

However, be ready to be disappointed. FO will botch this somehow. There are reports that their rd 1 top target is Starks. I wouldn’t be surprised if they WR though.

I agree. I think you have to go Jalon Walker with the first pick. I believe he will be a star for many years. They could easily go wr in the second round but I would go QB if Dart is there. We need another young guy that could create competition and have a backup. If they decided wr in the second I would take Harris if he falls that far. If not you could probably get Tez Johnson later. It would be nice to see them make some trades and possibly get some draft picks back. trading up last year for Orhorhoro was dumb. Like you said though, I fully expect them to blow this.

They only have 4 picks at the moment. They COULD trade Cousins, Pitts, and/or Allgeier for more picks but at the moment it’s 4.

They should use all 4 on Defense IMO. WR 5/6 can be acquired through UDFA and if they trade Cousins, they should look at veterans for backup QB.

We shall see.

Walker. Can play stand up linebacker and edge rusher at a high level and the Falcons need both badly.

If they do that then if I'm Blank I fire Fontenot on the spot and let McKay finish the draft

But he won't do that because he's a terrible owner who needs to sell the team but I digress.

Meh, 28-3 doesn't really bother me anymore. Candidly, even if we had won that SB, I'd still be frustrated with this organization they way they've handled the last few seasons.

Or in other words, the Saints won a super bowl, in what, like 2009? If you're a Saints fan that's great and all but you'd probably be more focused on wanting your team to make the playoffs again. I don't believe they have in like 6 seasons.

Same with the Falcons.

Losing a Super Bowl is not as embarrassing as being from New Orleans.

28-3 bothers me in the sense they can’t separate from it. The HC and DC were on the coaching staff that let that happen. It’s inexcusable. If any coaching candidate had any part of 28-3, they should be ineligible to work in the Falcons organization.

My guess is some tight end from Montana State.

Fair point.

But the more I read, Dart is going in the first round, quite possibly to my Steelers.

Watching Dart through the years, I've felt like he was being way overlooked in this draft. I've watched that kid just pick teams a part. Teams with good defenses in the SEC and they just couldn't stop him when he got hot.

If the Falcons get a shot at Donta Thorton in the 4th round, they should take it. This guy is going to be the steal of the draft.

Looking like Mykele and Jalon will be gone at 15. If that is the case I think we might go the cb from Michigan 1st and edge second round. Maybe Prince from Ole Miss.
