I like what you have done with the Colts.
 

I was going to say I didn’t like taking an off ball LB that high but he had 8 sacks last year so not a pure off ball LB. 
 

Also, the only other major free agent the Colts have is Grover Stewart but I’m ok with him not being involved in this write up. 
DT Grover Stewart re-signs with Indianapolis Colts

Cant say I'm a fan of it for the jags.

Letting Ridley walk fine.  Taking a WR in round 1 not so fine especially with not addressing the jags OL in free agency.   Could even go CB.

 

like the idea of ol in round 2 but Haynes is more 3rd round then mid 2 especially with Frazier available.

 

Also Mims is being picked at pick 18 and the 2nd pick in the 2nd round.

This would be incredible value for a RB coming off a sub 1000 season with injury concerns

Giving you a football for the effort.

Don't hate the selection.  Could also see Jer'Zhan Newton [DL; Illinois] and maybe Tyler Nubin [S; Minnesota] being in play here.

Definitely fills a need here, but Kinchens is kinda boom or bust for me.  It's a shame Nubin went one pick ahead of him.  Kris Jenkins [DL; Michigan] probably get serious interest here.

Solid choice here.

Bit of a strange offseason for Tennessee. Spending the money to sign Tyron Smith when the draft plan is Joe Alt would be a little superfluous.

I would also hope for more splash signings in free agency for the team that has the most money. They’re pretty solid at Edge, in comparison to other positions at least, so it would be strange to spend the money there and not WR, DB, ILB, or elsewhere on the OL.

Wonder with what cap, but wouldn't complain at all.

I'm hoping for McCarthy or a trade down if JJ is gone, but can't complain of this scenario

If the Saints can sign like 2 or more above avg to top tier FA's every year while being like 60 to 100 mil over cap.  Then by god the Broncos can find some loose change for a Cousins i think XD

Although i think Cousins, Russ, and Fields are heavily in play for the Falcons if we miss on the top 3 QB's in this draft.  I could see a trade down for some picks then taking Penix or JJ later though.    I personally would have no isse taking Russ or Cousins in FA then letting JJ or Penix learn from them a year or 2 then taking over.

Now as for the draft picks

Atlanta Falcons select Terrion Arnold, CB, Alabama - You can never be 100% but i would be almost a lock we wouldn't go CB here with it already being one of our stronger and deeper positions of talent.   Even more so when i don't see you giving us 1 even descent WR in FA or a legit top tier edge rusher in FA.     At that point QB, Edge, or WR has to be the pick at 8.   The future QB to learn under Russ for a year or 2, a stud edge rusher to groom for the future and be a 1a edge guy.  Clowney sure as heck isn't that i honestly think we have passed on him to many times over the years for us to be really interested in him.  As far as WR goes we only have 1 WR on the entire roster in Drake London and we have to get like 4 or 5 more by the time the season starts.  1 of them has to be a good one in FA and one has to be in the 1st 3 rounds.   Adonai Mitchell fixes 1 part of this in round 2 thats a really good choice.  So gotta go get the other in FA and probably another one in round 3 or 4 somewhere.

But we want to be the next New Orleans Saints? Sinking every year on a giant cap hell sinkhole and winning nothing
