But then lost the following 3 seasons to depth issues (the 2013 season in part to the 11 games Julio missed). We made it all the way to NFC Championship. We all know Julio is one of the best WRs in Football. That 2012 draft was a by-product of the Julio Jones trade-up in 2011, (no second rounder in 11′ and no 1st and 4th rounder in 12′). We especially don’t need any more 2012 drafts… because nobody is in the league from that class, let alone under performing for the Falcons. We don’t need any more Peria Jerry’s (selected 24th overall by Dimitroff in 09′)- never made an impact in 5 seasons before tapping out after Quinn arrived in 2014. We don’t need any more Dez Southward’s – picked by Dimitroff (3rd round in 2014) cut by Quinn a year and a half later. Keep him out of the process altogether! Lock him out of the War Room until the 3rd round. So, could the 1st & 2nd round picks really be Dimitroff-proofed? There’s so many ball-hawking outside linebackers, QB whooping edge rushers and physical middle linebackers that even if the ultimate decision is Dimitroff’s he can’t screw it up.īut better yet, let’s not chance it. Then again we’re all still scratching our heads over Quinn’s 2nd Round reach for LSU’s Jalen Collins… more on that in a minute.

And Dimitroff doesn’t really get defense. Despite the convoluted decision-making flow chart in Flowery Branch, most Falcons fans hope (and pray) that the ultimate decisions on Draft weekend will be made by Head Coach Dan Quinn.Įspecially since defense is Quinn’s specialty and by all accounts there are 15 or more defensive players that can have an immediate impact in 2016.

Then again we have 5 former GMs to help make the right ones. Less than a month to go to the NFL Draft.
