Not a real good pick there imo. He's just a backup middle linebacker and we need an outside backer.

Scott has him as the #3 ILB and dent also fills a need so I'm ok with the pick.

Dent is really an OLB, he played ILB in a 3-4. I think he could play both in a 4-3.

I think it's really awesome that Akeem Dent's favorite player growing up was Tuggle, who announced his pick. Must have been a great feeling.

"General manager Thomas Dimitroff said several teams had called the Falcons to potentially trade up to the No. 91 spot and give the Falcons more picks, but those teams were also targeting Dent."
Interesting.

I love the pick he fits a need and we only gave up a 7th round to move up to get him. He is gonna make the team and we have nobody like him since Norwood is gone.

Definitely like the pick.
Despite giving up so much, I feel like we have drafted three players who will make a significant impact on the team.

Absolutely great, Julio and Quizz will have huge impacts on offense, and I really like Dent for his role on defnse, for a limited draft TD has done very well.
If we can land a DE in FA thats would be amazing, so happy w/ Quizz, little mighty mouse.

Quizzzz
He just turned 21. I think he'll have a real bright future for a 5th rounder. If he was taller, he'd be a 2nd rounder for sure.

Saints took Greg Romeous just ahead of us, ******* sucks. But we still got a pretty good DE.

That really burns me up when the Saints got that kid, I think he could really be something, and now if these 2 DEs get healthy we're going to have 2 nightmare DEs to deal with each year. Tampa will have 1 (obviously not Clayborne) and New Orleans will have one. Hope they get healthy, but only after their respective teams cut them!

I had a feeling we would take a kicker. We did an amazing job on day 3 of the draft. All of the guys we drafted could be potential starters and I love that.
Meh I don't care that Saints took Romeous. Cliff Matthews is a DE who Doesn't take plays off, and he'll be a great addition to the DE core we already posses on the team.
