Atlanta looking to move up

[Bewbies]

This might be a trade option for you who want to pick up a 2 to trade down. Atlanta might give that much up for the #1 overall pick.

Two years ago, the Falcons made no secret in the days before the draft that they were looking to trade up to get a wide receiver, and they would eventually send two first-round picks, a second-round pick and two fourth-round picks to Cleveland so that they could draft Julio Jones sixth overall. That worked well enough that the Falcons are now trying to move up again.

Peter King of Sports Illustrated reports that the Falcons are trying to trade up from their current first-round pick, which is No. 30 overall. King said he doesn’t know which player or players the Falcons are targeting, but they apparently like someone whom they expect to be off the board before No. 30 overall.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution recently suggested that the Falcons might try to trade up for a cornerback like Alabama’s Dee Milliner, Florida State’s Xavier Rhodes or Washington’s Desmond Trufant. They could also covet one of the draft’s top pass rushers after releasing veteran defensive end John Abraham. There’s also talk that they might like to acquire Notre Dame tight end Tyler Eifert and give him a year to learn from Tony Gonzalez (who is expected to retire after the 2013 season) before taking over for Gonzalez in 2014 as the team’s No. 1 tight end.

that's funny because we just signed and paid a lot of money for "one of those guys they cut who suck or are old and breaking down" as you put it.

so what does that say about the Chiefs.

We should be willing to take vastly undervalued compensation to trade down, and should be happy about it.

I know a 2nd rounder to move down from 1 to 30 seems like not enough, but this year we should take what we can get and be happy about it.

So it is sarcastic. That makes me feel better.

I live in Atlanta. Not one person was sad to see Dunta go. They all laughed at KC for signing him. FWIW

And the Chiefs were the worst team in the NFL last year, I'd say that says a lot more about them than picking up a busted ass FA does.

"Average" Smith...

...I like it.

The scenerio that plays out is we first trade down with Miami , getting extra picks, then we trade Miami's 1st down to NYJ and get extra picks, then we trade NYJ 1st down to Atlanta for next years #1

Bingo.

Move from 30-1? Yea, right.

Bill Poilan was talking already tonight that if you move past #6 overall you gotta give up: Swapping #1's this year, a 2nd this year and a 1st in 2014.
The Falcons would be giving up another Julio Jones type deal +.

We don't even know what the Falcons want. If it's a TE to be an understudy to Gonzo, they aren't looking to take them at #1.

Between this and that horrible half assed attempt at a mock the other day he is really slipping. I think he is going the other way from where Tim Cowlishaw did from "Drunk on Sports".
