I think the stupidest prediction i've seen was Mel Kiper on ESPN predicting the Falcons would draft Alabama WR Calvin Ridley with the 26th pick of the 1st round

It sounds like the Falcons may be close to negotiating a contract extension for Matt Ryan

It's sounds like there may be problems between the Falcons and Julio Jones. Julio Jones has deleted all his Falcons picks from Instagram.

[MikeJackets1967]

The Falcons have drafted Alabama WR Calvin Ridley with the 26th pick of the 1st round. The Falcons have found Julio Jones successor as top WR on the Falcons and he will take a lot of pressure off of Julio Jones. I would rather have had the Falcons draft Florida DT Taven Bryan however.

I also expected Bryan to be the pick but Ridley will contribute immediately, maybe better than gabriel.it will be interesting to see how they cover this calculated risk for the gaping hole at DT. maybe the stanford guy if available. I think if i had done my own 1 round mock draft, i may have missed all 32 which still could be competitive with mock predictions...

With Calvin Ridley i think the Falcons found another Roddy White. I think the Falcons take a DT in the 2nd round and in the proceeding rounds.

You could certainly be right.Double dipping at that position might be a good idea. I hope the usa today R2 mock is way off since they predict 4 more DT's picked b4 the falcons get one at 58 ......https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...-england-patriots-qb-mason-rudolph/557151002/

The Falcons need a good defensive and offensive lineman. I think there's a good chance the Falcons will get a defensive lineman and offensive lineman by free agency

They got the OL starter in march for 3yr/$12.75 mil. blogs say they're still looking for backups but the DL spot is the only one i know where they're likely looking for an immediate starter .I haven't been keeping up with FA's (cuz Suh already signed and they're tryin to save money for Ryan)...depth may be an issue but things could be a lot worse https://www.thefalcoholic.com/2018/...dified-the-falcons-draft-needs-nfl-draft-2018
