hearing Schwartz or Osemele could be the pick. both guys would normally need a chip but that's no big deal when you consider how dominant they will be in the running game and how they would be at least as good as Svitek.

I would love Osmele, though not sure about him at LT. I think he's Carl Nicks at guard.

Watch film on K.O. He is last out of his stance almost every play.
That is not good for a OG in the NFL.

Watch when he gets his hands on the defender. The play is over. My biggest concern was that he constantly got beat across his face. I think playing in a phone booth will ease that. I'm of the belief he will be a very good G. LT, I don't know about that one. I ultimately think Schwartz goes before 55.

Im still hoping for Boykin at 55 and a miracle for Fleener.

I agree, when he gets his hands on you it is play over.
I really don't think he has the quicks to play OG. I see him as an RT only. He has a very good chance to be a pro bowl RT. Unfortunately for the Falcons that is one OL position that is covered pretty well.

It looks like we have joined the Asante Samuel sweepstakes. As long as we don't give up too much I wouldn't mind.

I would be very pleased with giving up either of those. How often does a 5th/6th pan out anyway?

He makes alot fo $ though so not sure they would wanna pay 3 CB's big deal. Maybe they look to trade Grimes if they aren't gonna give him a big deal.

5/6 rnd pick I'm O.K. with.
Gotta renegotiate that contract to around 2 year 10M though
He's crazy if he doesn't think a BIG pay cut is in store.

Great job by the front office finally. Not overspending and getting him fairly cheap for 3 years. Hes still a good player in my eyes. takes Boykin out of the picture and is lookin more like and OL of some sort unless a big name slips down.

TD said he narrowed it down to two positions only. I'm thinking O-line for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised with a NT.

Is there any word on if we will sign Abrayo Franklin, as I feel like he would be a nice addition to the interior.

Asante only cost a 7th. LOL, thats actually very suprising.
I havent heard anything Bama. But I really hope TD isnt set on 2 positions esp if a great player falls.

That is awesome, we basically signed him as a free agent.

I'm going to be very unrealistic and hope that Vinny Curry drops to us. I have a massive mancrush on him.
