NFL Draft Thread

I wouldn't call Kaepernick a star, he's very good and may become a star but I wouldn't call him a star. And there's no way Culliver and Reid are stars either. Maybe reid gets there but he's not there yet. The stars are Smith, Bowman, Iupati, and Davis. You can even argue Davis to a degree as he's not one of the elite LT does that mean he's even a star cause he's a really good LT? Kilgore haven't seen enough of to determine his ability. So I'll wait and see for the season.

In the last 4 years Dimitroff has added 3 stars does that make him amazing since he's one off from where the best drafter in the NFL is at? ANd he did all that without picking in the top 16 any season.

Who are the Falcons "stars" aside from Julio?

Watched the ASU game , he looks a but reluctant to put his hat in the fray, but if he plays cF for us that's fine more times than not. Is rather him play conservative until he figures out the next level. All the reviews say he can cover a slot guy, but was a bit stiff.

If he figures out how to play, he may develop into something. He's a third round pick based on his outstanding pro day performance and nothing other than that. Was one of the more "unnatural" players I've watched up here in the B1G.
 
I was listening to the draft on fox sports radio and they are so butt hurt that Manziel wasn't drafted earlier. They keep playing thrse clips of someone who criticizes teams for not taking him. Even saying the Jags and Browns should be shutdown for not taking Manziel 3rd or 4th. They even had one guy who thought the saints were taking Manziel when they traded up.

Its almost as bad as espn and tgeir Manti Te'o zone ****.
 
Will not be able to root for this bastard Shembo that the Falcons just drafted. He and Notre Dame carry the stench of the worst of big-time football. Always despised the irish just because they so easily enter into these kinds of cover-ups. Shame on the Falcons for drafting this kind of person.

Only part of the Draft that overly disappointed me is that the Niners didn't use one of their last picks on Sam... even worse, he went to the Rams. SEC DPOY, even after a bad pro-day, is definitely worth a 7th round pick. Rams likely just got a steal.
 
9rs had a big name draft. Got all the buzz guys.

Cannot complain one but about Falcons draft. Very nice work.

Lucked out with a handful of quality late picks. Southward is the only questionable one but given the rate safeties were coming off the board needed a little stretch. But our day 3 was fantastic, got a need in the 4th who was expected to be a day 2 pick, Shembo well, no reason to sugar coat it the kid may be a total dirtbag. But he should be a decent edge rusher. ALlen should be quality depth, especially a good nickel as he lacks ideal size. Spruill intrigues me, probably will never play an significant time in Atlanta if we're ttoally healthy but looks like a solid ILB prospect. Really really really love the Smallwood pick. All awesome jokes aside, Falcons got a guy who was in discussion as a day 2 pick before pulling a hammy at the combine that hurt his value to being a 4-5 and then further dropped to us in the 7th. Fantastic pick. Smallwood I think will be the reason we don't see too much of Spruill, loved the tape I saw of him. I know nothing of Starr.

Glad the Falcons took a lot of LBs. Need LB depth to run a 3-4 and I'm sure that's where we'll be long term. WE'll run a hybrid this year though I'm sure.

No way in hell the Niners would take him, they had literally the only player in the NFL who said he wouldn't welcome a gay player into their locker room.

They entered the draft with 11 picks. Left with 12 players and Stevie Johnson this weekend.

And he is signed to a reasonable contract. 49ers aare even deeper this year. Love the moves Baalke is making. Hopefully he and harbaugh can get along.

We have no cap room right now either. Will have some space freed up once Rogers comes off the books on June 1st.

Honestly my favorite pick was Marcus Martin. Versatile kid who can play center and guard.
 
And yes the team is stockpiling talent. There really is no excuse for not winning a Super Bowl this season. Barring a huge injury or two Bowman not withstanding this team has the most talent in the league. If Harbaugh can't win with this group he never will.

Well barring a massive collapse, Trufant was one of the 10 best corners in the NFL, I am fairly certain he keeps that up. Especially since the Falcons couldn't rush the passer.

Reid wasn't close to Trufant's level.

Reid was top 10 safeties last season. Just saying. More like top 7.
