[QUOTE="daBuzz, post: 36492, member: 56"] That's why you're not an NFL GM! :) I think Jeremiah goes in the 3rd or 4th round. Jemea will likely be an undrafted FA. IMO, no way in HELL the Falcons need to draft an OL. Everyone talks about Matthews but I watched 4 A&M games this year and guys were going around Matthews like he was holding a cape and yelling "Ole!" at them. If Manziel wasn't as mobile as he is, Matthews might fall to a 3rd round projection IMO. Since they announced the salary cap will likely move to between $132 and $135 million today (about $8 million or so more than expected), then the Falcons have money to go after some free agent linemen. Here's my plan to fix the Falcons: 1) Go get the best left tackle FA available. 2) Move Sam Baker to Right Tackle and keep Lamar Holmes as a backup 3) Go get the best center FA available. 4) Move Konz to RG where he is a more natural player. 5) Draft pass rushers with your top 3 picks. (It's at this point where I point out just how STUPID it was of the Falcons to win that game versus Washington. IIRC, losing that game puts them at 3 instead of 6 and you have a really valid shot at Clowney without having to talk about trading up to get him. With those 2 FA pickups, the line is much more stable and the young guys who were forced to start provide what should be capable backups. Go get some edge pass rushers and bring them in. Your corners were both rookies last year and have a year underneath their belt of experience. Your safeties are still young and should be fine. With Spoon and Dent coming back from injury, your LBs are solid again but I'd like to get a LB in the draft. Honestly, I'd also like to get a speed back at running back...think Percy Harvin-type speed. Someone who might play 5 - 6 plays per game but can perform in the return game and be used to stretch defenses on toss sweeps, etc. Lower round picks used on more offensive linemen whom you expect to need two or three years of seasoning before they're ready to step in and be an everyday player.
