Yeah, it sucks. I am watching on NFLN and they show all the guys before the pick. ESPN is even more annoying with it from what you guys are saying. I want to be at least somewhat surprised when Goodell announces the pick. Fuck this. I'm watching NBA games now and then CSI. I'll look at the draft again later.
I had mixed feelings when we were discussing a possible Falcons trade for AJ Green earlier. I said 5 picks, people said it wouldn't be that high. They took 5 picks to trade to 6 and get Julio Jones! Crazy good trade for the Browns.
They did overpay but this will probably be Tony Gonzalez's last year... Jones+White+Gonzalez+Turner are you kidding me!?!?!
The trade is not that bad. The 1st next year will probably be a late 1st rounder. Then the 27th pick, a late 2nd when the Falcons have a ton of picks, and 2 4ths. Not a bad deal at all. Now they better hope Jones is as good as they think he is. Because imo there is a drop off between Green and Jones
maybe not, but it certainly will give Ryan every chance to succeed, and reach his full potential. Can't win without a top notch QB, so you better make sure the guy you drafted is going to become one. Adding Jones to White, Gonzales, Jenkins, Turner, Ryan and the OL is going to be fucking disgusting next year... Might even rival the Jets offense if they bring back Holmes and Edwards... Aldon Smith over Robert Quinn? WTF???
