What is with all these people leaving posts that say we are smoke screening for so and so and so that this team will trade up with us. Everyone in the NFL knows are needs and they know that BP wants to trade down. They know we are not sold on Matt Ryan or anyone else on the Top pick. Atlanta would be dumb to trade down 2 spots for a QB when they will have to sacrifice so much to get one player. They are like Miami and have a few pressing holes on their team. The Dallas trade is a myth and is quite funny people still believe it will happen.
Im going to go out on a limb here to and say we are not even for sure we will take Chris Long. Vernon Gholston is huge and strong power DE/OLB hybrid. It has been noted that Miami coaching staff loved him. It is evident that are high on them when they sent there D cordinator to take him out to dinner and instruct him on drills on his pro day. I would rather have him than Long. Ive seen Long play and he is good but didnt show up in a cositent manner in the ACC and wasnt a strong force until his was senior. Ive see him play the Hokies three times and he didnt blow everyone away like everyone assumes. His highlight are just that. The ACC is not known for strong tackle play. Ohio State is known for strong productive pro players who have played high level football. He is going to be more productive at the pro level than Long. Forget who his daddy is and move on people.
SMOKE SCREENS are not happening yet, if we trade out will package a player with it. JT and number one is a strong likelyhood. I for one love him but love the idea of the trade more. He is my favorite player but he wants out and its time for us all to move on in a new direction. I hope we do because we will have a huge amount in doing this.
