Here's the all new and scammer free Falcons thread. Some previous highlights-
Top-15 #NFLDraft order: 1) HOU 2) STL (WAS) 3) JAX 4) CLE 5) OAK 6) ATL 7) TB 8) MIN 9) BUF 10) DET 11) TEN 12) NYG 13) STL 14) CHI 15) PIT
So we're drafting 6th.
At the top of my wish list is Jake Matthews or that Lewan kid from Michigan at OT.
I maintain that O-line is a greater need than D-line, and I think Clowney might be kinda overrated anyways.
Blah, Imo clowney will be a hof NFL player
Def need O line tho
You can't pass on Clowney. Can't see him being available in 6th anyways.
“I want to be transparent with my answer. . . .I’m going to give you a little different answer than what Smitty gave you last week. He was asked a question about how tough our team was. I read his answer. In many ways I would agree with him and in some ways I would not agree with it. I think the nature of the game is that it is a physically violent game. It is a tough game. To play football at the professional level, the college level and even the high school level, you’re got to be a tough kid. A tough person.
“I think a lot of our players are certainly that. I think, at the end of the day, if I asked you as a player, to give me brief definition of what toughness is, I think you might say something to me (like), ‘It’s how you control the line of scrimmage. Can you run the ball? Can you stop the run? Can you run the ball? Can you stop the run? You’ve got pass to put up points in the NFL, we understand that. I don’t think we did either one of those things very well this year. I would say if you look at toughness from that perspective, I don’t think we were as tough as we needed to be.
“It doesn’t mean that we want players that are going to end up in different sections of the newspaper other than the sports section. But I think we do want players that have the capacity to be tough and as tough as they need to be, to play right up to the line, to the edge of the line and we need coaches that are prepared to coach them that way as well.”
