I always thought of Atlanta as year by year the most bipolar team imaginable.

I was referring to the lions but yes ur point is well taken. I like the bijan pick for atl

[Kampfgeist]

I don't think our defensive players are going to think the Gibbs pick was a poor choice.   He's fast and explosive and going to be a nightmare to defend.     Cook in Minny has tortured our D for yrs and Gibbs might be better

[Brit Pack]

Players certainly to go before 42:
Joey Porter
Will Levis

Players I’m trading up for, one of these should be available – ideal trade partner is Seattle at pick 38, with us giving up in 42 and our 4^th (116):
Darnell Washington
Jalin Hyatt
Mike Mayer
Brian Branch

Funny, I don’t love anyone enough at 45, I’d like a trade back in the 2nd and to get a 4^th rounder back and then take one of the following:
Sam La Porta
Luke Musgrave
Cedric Tillman
Jartavius Martin
Keeanu Benton
Rashee Rice
Jonathan Mingo

If we stay at 45 lots of Oline are available and could be high on our board:
John Michael Schmitz
O’Cyrus Torrence
Steve Avila
Dawand Jones
Matthew Bergeron
Caudy Mauch
Joe Tippman
Luke Wypler

Surprise pick at 45
Hendon Hooker!

Gute will take Branch (42) and Avila (45) in RD2 just to see if he can break the Packers twitter feed

[Mazrimiv]

If PHI hits on these Georgia players, that is going to be a scary defense.  I sure hope Carter and Davis are the busts I expected them to be.

I mean, knowing Gute, if Washington is there at 42, you have to think he's the pick right?

I will be so hyped if we get washington 

[HokieHigh]

Jsn and nolan smith were two guys i didnt want. They ended up in situations where they could really thrive and be great. Would not be surprised to see either be extremely productive in those fits

I'd be plenty happy with any of Washington, Mayer or Musgrave in RD2.  Wanted no part of any TE in RD1, but now is the time.

Yeah, but he seems like that because he isn't fast, not because of how he plays. Also not a very good tackler, not that I would be that off put by taking him at 42 - but I think that's a need decision over a football decision.

Branch is like the best tackling college DB in half a generation. He'd be a great STAR role guy here

No question we will get a shot at a TE. Board still includes Mayer, Washington, Musgrave, LaPorta and Kraft, all legitimate 2nd round guys. Even if a few TEs go in the first 10 picks, 2-3 of those guys are going to be there. 

[Mazrimiv]

It's kind of funny to see the wide disparity of rankings that show up on the various "best remaining players" lists.  You can pretty much label any player a reach or good value based on the list you choose to look at. 

[St Vince]

I don't know who the Packers top TE is but if they want him they better move up at least 5 spots because I see the run on TE's starting in the 30's. Other teams know the TE is one of the Packers top needs and will be trading ahead of them to get one. Gute has the capital go get your guy.

Yeah, I think every evaluation I read on Branch had tackling as one of his biggest plus traits. Not sure how anyone would have him pegged as a poor tackler.
