NFL draft in game!!!!!!

[LVJimmy]

This draft is whacked already!

Atlanta traded WAY TOO MUCH for Julio Jones. Dude is all metrics.

Jake Locker at 8 and Ponder at 12? HUH?

And I can't f'ing believe Detroit has Suh and now Fairley...unreal.

IMO, the top 3 guys in this draft (in no order) are:

Peterson
Fairley
Green

I think Bowers is that good too. If his knee is ok, somebody is getting GOLD with him this late!

I agree with you 100% except on the falcons taking Julio Jones. Best move in the draft IMO. Our offense is set now for the next 5 years so now we can focus on defense for AWHILE!!! Detroit is stacking the deck real quick. They might be a contender in the next 3 years.

Von Miller
Peterson
Bowers
Green

Can't decide which one i would leave out to make it a Top 3

[wayne1218]

People have been SCREAMING for a fuckin pass rush for 3 years up here now and the fucker drafts another O-Lineman? Cocksucking mother fucker!

[wayne1218]

On a side note ...... Bout time the Red Sox & Yankee bats woke up and oh yeah ...... BA-BYE Magic!

Von Miller
Peterson

Yea, forgot Miller..that dude is a beast.

[LVJimmy]

Damnit, I wanted the Bucs to get Prince.

[flarendep1]

Hope the Ravens get Jimmy Smith if he is still available. Eagles may take him though.

I agree 1000% with Jimmy about Jones, the Atlanta pick. I think he will be good but i just saw what they gave up for him and i almost fell out of my fuckin chair. Are you fuckin kidding me? This is like the friggin' Herschel Walker trade for christ sakes and Cleveland just laid the groundwork for their future thanks to Atlanta. Read below, even Roddy White is shocked!!!

By Pat Yasinskas
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- I just finished a news conference with Carolina coach Ron Rivera and Marty Hurney, walked out and got hit with the news the Atlanta Falcons had traded up to grab wide receiver Julio Jones at No. 6.

Wow, that’s a leap. In fact, it’s such a big leap that further analysis on new Carolina quarterback Cam Newton can wait a bit.

The Atlanta Falcons traded away most of this year's draft in order to select Julio Jones.My first reaction as a reporter was to say to myself, “What does Roddy White think?’’, so I turned to White’s verified Twitter account.

His first reaction: “Well we got Julio Jones. I’m excited.’’

Apparently, Roddy then saw the same details on the trade that I saw. The Falcons gave up their first-round pick (No. 27) this year as well as their second- and fourth-round picks in this draft. They also gave up their first- and fourth-round picks in 2012 to move up to No. 6 to grab Jones.

“Well, I was wrong,’’ White tweeted exactly a minute later. “We give up our draft.’’

White’s pretty much right. The Falcons basically gave up most of this year’s draft to get Jones. He’s a playmaking receiver from Alabama and, in theory, he and White should team together to provide franchise quarterback Matt Ryan with a great duo at receiver.

In theory, the Falcons have spent the offseason talking about the need to add an explosive player or two after going 13-3 last season, but getting bounced in their first playoff game. In theory, Jones is that explosive player. Pair him with White, tight end Tony Gonzalez on the short routes, Harry Douglas out of the slot and run Michael Turner a fair amount and there shouldn’t be any stopping the Atlanta offense.

But what if all the theories are wrong? And what if the Falcons don’t add an explosive player or two on defense (although I strongly suspect Falcons owner Arthur Blank is going to cough up some big bucks to get a pass-rushing defensive end in free agency)?

They’ll be right back to where they were last season or maybe worse.

Let’s cut right to the chase: Atlanta general manager Thomas Dimitroff and coach Mike Smith, who just got contract extensions, went out on a big limb on this one. The extensions seemingly give Dimitroff and Smith job security and that may well be true.

I love Clayborn!!! Down year in 2010, but in 2009, he was a beast!!!
