3 Round Fan Mock Draft

by TO falcon on Apr 14, 2009 10:48 AM EDT

I took over the Falcons as part of a Fan mock on a UK Forum. Some of the other GMs made some crazy picks so i decided to trade down twice to get value and then traded up again.

I ended up with:

Round 2

#55 - Clint Sintim - LB - Virginia

#57 - Rashad Johnson - S - Alabama

#58 - Marcus Freeman - LB - Ohio State

Round 3

#90 - Yet to pick

I figured that Freeman is perfect for WLB and Sintim is perfect for SLB and both would play the next 5-10 years with Lofton in the middle.

Great figuring!

I love the idea of having top linebackers as the corner stone of your defense. I hope the Falcons build like the Ravens with solid Linebackers and a great secondary!

I can dig it ...

are you thinking DT in the third round?

Reporter: How will you address all of the dropped passes?

Mike Smith: I don’t think that we were as sharp as we have been catching the football. It’s something that is very fixable. It’s VERY fixable.

Im thinking

DT or possibly a purely catching TE for situational and i have a man crush on Donald Washington (DB – OSU)

i have faith in Trey Lewis.

go hard or go home

So …

purely catching TE

Does that mean one of the following?
(a) You don’t think Peelle can hold it down
(b) You don’t think we need a dual threat TE

Reporter: How will you address all of the dropped passes?

Mike Smith: I don’t think that we were as sharp as we have been catching the football. It’s something that is very fixable. It’s VERY fixable.

neither

I like Peele but i want us to take a flyer on someone who is a great catching TE for a role situation when we need to open it up.

There should be a guy that at the very least will foster some competition at that point with a solid chance of starting. If we’re not going to address TE in the first round with arguably the only worthwhile dual purpose player, then I would say no need to rush to draft another one until the 5th
