This is how I think that they will proceed...I actually see a fairly high likelihood that they trade down, but in truth, all options are on the table in my opinion. If I were them, I'd try and trade down to an area where their needs coincide with BPA and pick up best extra picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they try to trade down to like 10-12 and pick up a 2022 1st round pick and then go Najee Harris. Sure, it'd be high for Najee, but it's the Falcons biggest offensive need with Smith coming in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in a good spot for that though, especially if the Jets really do pass on QB. If the Falcons are willing to go from 4 to 12 and the niners only have to give up next years first and don't do it, I'll be sad lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least not a team picking at 2. I think the latest iteration of the rumor was that the Jets were either going to go QB at 2 or trade the pick and build around Darnold. I'd be surprised if the top 2 picks weren't QBs in some variation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think one of the QBs will be available at 4, although I'm not sure it's Wilson. Could easily be Fields. And would Atlanta pass on the local kid?

I honestly just don't love the value if you're doing anything other than QB there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A trade down from #4 or a move up from the 2nd round would probably get it done. I'd be pretty pissed if he somehow fell to their current second round pick...and unfortunately, it isn't outside the realm of possibilities.

lancerman Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 1 hour ago, Uncle Buck said: What would those be? 1. He doesn’t call plays. This is kind of a big deal since his biggest draw is that he is the OC of an amazing offense. However he does not call the plays, Reid does (and Reid’s tree is just far stronger on the defensive side than offensive side) and I don’t think many in the league consider it terribly hard to succeed with Mahomes, Kelce, Hill, and Watkins (along with Hunt and now EH). Also as far as Mahomes goes, most people are giving Mike Kafka credit for his development. 2. There’s been reports for multiple seasons he doesn’t interview well. It’s kinda an open secret at this point. 3. He has some legal baggage in the past that isn’t a great look and owners probably aren’t excited about being drudged up if he gets a high profile job. The combination of that plus having to wait for playoff runs has been an issue. Maybe he gets something this year, but I think it’s telling that the most desirable locations took a pass.

Again - subject to a good evaluation of Darnold's skills (which I cant make....). They need talented bodies on that roster. It's not that I care a great deal either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd be better off trading down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just depends on what kind of demand there is for the pick and what the other offers are. Getting a just a future first wouldn't be the worst return in history for that sort of move. The Raiders only got a second for it in 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you guys go Harris at 4? I know it defies modern logic but I don’t think it’d be the worst pick in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
