    Also got to love all the negative publicity around the Redskins, amazingly stupid they won't change their horribly racist team name.

    I have no clue how the 49ers are going to keep all this talent together and keep Kaep. They have already made so many fiscal committments. Hopefully Kaep doesn't try to break the bank.

    Still will be better than the Bucs. Falcons could Flacco contract Ryan and cut half the team and they'd make the playoffs.

    They better keep those receivers because we are not sure how good he would be without all those weapons. But that is the nature of hte NFL. Offense offense and more offense.

    Roddy I think will go in the near future. He's getting up there in age. Julio will go nowhere, and the Falcons will have money to get another receiver or 2. Need to get a TE though.

    Should have been smart like hte niners and drated Lattimore. Can't wait till 2014. Hope that kid is healthy. Ryan would be deadly with an effective play action.

    Wouldn't have minded Lattimore, but I was very happy with the Falcons draft. Now they'll have the secondary to play teams man up on the WRs, and not to mention got their DE as well.

    And as far as Lattimore goes, the Falcons are playing all in this year, they brought Tony back, got Stephen Jackson so they were gonna shoot for impact guys immediately. Which is risky, but if they win it all it will make them look like geniuses, if they don't there will be questions.

    A fourth or third round pick would not have hurt. I like Demitriov. He has done a great job but the Falcons have a GLARING need at RB long term. It was a mistake.

    Falcons were able to win a ton of games with an ineffective Turner. No reason they can't do the same with other RBs.

    Unless he tanks they have 2 years of Jackson for cheap. They can take a RB next year, or who knows, maybe Quizz is legit (don't think so though)

    But its impossible to predict the future. Like Zito said, they are playing to win this year. How many mid round HB flame out. Theres a chance Lattimore doesnt amount to anything. But I do think it was a excellent pick, becuase he had to talent to be a top pick, but its no guarantee.

    RB is certainly a position where yoiu can draft late. Maybe people passed on Lattimore for a reason and he will be worthless in the future. I just thought for a team starved of RB's would take that chance. I mean, the 49ers have two guys long term and still took him they though so much of his talent.

    Would be surprised if lattimore is still in the league in 4 yrs. I think he'll be out and be a commentator by then

    Because of one injury?

    It hasn't been just "one injury." He's has had torn ligaments and surgery on BOTH knees within the last 2 yrs. That is basically the kiss of death of any RB, no matter what age. If it was just the one injury, he would have still gone 1st round (especially in this draft). McGahee went in the 1st round literally 4 months after basically the same injury. You are fooling yourself if you think Lattimore is remotely likely to get back to same player he was in college.

    We will just have to wait and see. Frank Gore had similar injury problems coming into the NFL and he turned out just fine. Surgery gets better and better and athletes are coming back stronger and stronger from it.

    He was a luxury pick. When you no glaring needs you can do this.
