Like I said we will end up only having about 20-25 million after resigning everyone. We will probably be able to sign a free agent around the 10 million dollar range and a few mid level guys but that is it. Unless we find a solid CB and DE in this draft we will need to resign Alexander, Norman, White, and Horton. Reammers, Nortman, and Stephen Hill could end up costing more money to keep if they have a good season. Thomas Davis will probably only cost about 4-6 million because of his age and love for the organization. Tolbert, Amini and Webb could all be let go. The rest will probably sign for small vet min deals,

You keep going a few more years back and you find that their past first rounders have included this A running back who has major injury issues A QB that is lucky to make a NFL squad after being let of by the Bucs A defensive end who has had major injury issues. Martin, Freeman and Clayborn have all looked like bust because of play or injury issues. If they didn't sign a bunch of decent free agents they would only have about a handful of good players. It looks like they may have turned things around last year with drafting Evans and ASJ but one year doesn't make or break a player and the Bucs have had plenty of good rookies end up being bust. Just remember WR Clayton who had over 1,000 yards his rookie season then was lucky to make a nfl squad. Winston has a lot of maturity issues so he could end up being another Bust for the Bucs.

I have a feeling Cam will be getting a deal for around 15-20 million. Luke will probably get an extension but I don't think a MLB will get paid but around 10 million. If Josh Norman continues to play well then I could see him being paid around 7-9 million a year. I don't know who else will be free agents but I have a feeling we will probably use about 10 million to resign some of our own players. That leaves us with about 25-30 million depending on how much we decide to pay Cam, Luke, Norman and other upcoming free agents. That's still a lot of money but when you consider we need to save up for future contracts then we might only have enough to sign one big name free agent around 10 million and a few mid level guys (4-6) million. Of course if we draft well and our younger players continue to develop then we won't be desperate to spend money in free agency.

I believe Buck Allen has more of a chance to be an every down back compared to Duke Johnson who seems to be more of a change of pace/ 3rd down back. Johnson has had injury issues but I believe he has a higher ceiling than Allen. Allen has only had one good season which could be bad but could be good because he has less miles compared to Johnson who is Miami's all time rusher. Here is NFL.coms info on the two so you can make your own opinion on the two.

Well the falcons should be better than last year considering they have a top pick and signed some new players but I find predictions useless, especially in the offseason. Btw I feel plenty of people on here know and are better at predictions than a lot of sports writers. Maybe you should look into writing articles if you feel you can do better. After all there are horrible articles and writers getting paid every day. Maybe they get paid because who they know or their credentials but it's not because of their work.

I understand why we are on the list after all we barely made the playoffs last season. The Falcons arguably will get better and the saints could with all of their draft picks they acquired. Even the Bucs have a solid chance of improving thier team. All we have signed is special team players or players cut from other teams. Personally I believe we will make the playoffs but I'm a homer.

I would rather have Strong, Parker, DGB and Agholor over Perriman.

GMs diss Mel Kiper all the time. I wouldn't be concerned what he says. I would be surprised if Perriman gets drafted in the first round let alone top 10.

Your saying we should pick him at 25? So do. You believe he is better than someone like Strong, Perriman, DGB who will probably be available at 25? I honestly don't even think he is better than Devin Smith. To me your drafting Dorrsett on potential and not on what he is now.

Since we have Ginn do we really need Dorsett? Isn't he pretty raw as a receiver? Sure he has other worldly speed but why not draft a player like Lockett in the latter rounds and draft a player that is more NFL ready?

Do you not have any faith in Oher, Reammers and Martin to get the job done?

I feel that if we have a good offensive line then we can be successful with an average RB. In fact I believe Darrin Reaves could put up good numbers behind a good offensive line like Dallas. With Bell and Amini out of the starting rotation I feel our offensive line will improve dramatically. Reamers and/or Martin is who will decide how good our offensive line will be. If one of them can do well then we should have a solid offensive line. Honestly I would rather us draft a WR over RB but when you have a player with the Talent Gurley has it is hard not to draft him.

Coaches talk about how bad players are doing well all the time. It's part of building a players confidence.

I hope Ealy can get 10 sacks this season. Addison had a good season last year and if Alexander can stay out of trouble we will have a good defensive line even if we don't draft a DE.

I watched game tape on KB and noticed another WR was getting more catches and making big plays than KB. That WR was Greene and the duo of KB and Greene could end up being a great NFL combo.

Would rather have Strong. If it really came down to Peat or Perriman I would go with Peat. Basically it comes down to would you want a potential Pro Bowl LT or potential #2 WR?

Not bad draft but two DE would mean we would cut or put a rookie on the practice squad. I would rather have Strong than Perriman. Coleman has shown interest from us so he could be a Panther but I would rather draft a RB in the mid rounds because of the talent available. I feel Gibson could be a 5th rounder. I love the Sample pick. Nice mock.

That would surprise me but it is possible. Brown has more speed but Boykin is bigger. Boykin and Brown both can play special teams but I assume Boykin can play more positions that Brown. Boykin has more experience but Brown has spent a year in our system. I've always thought Brown would be our #3 WR this year even if we draft/sign a WR but Boykin does have a chance to beat him out for the spot. I guess you could add Ginn to the mix as well but even though he has more speed and experience he isn't the better receiver and probably will be specifically special teams only.

Here's a scouting report on Martin. Ironically his pro comparison is Jordan Gross. Wouldn't it be great if Gross could give Martin some tips and leadership since he still sticks around the team. http://walterfootball.com/scoutingreport2012jmartin.php

I'm confused, I read Martin started 9 games but someone said he started 7 last season so which one is right?

According to rotoworld.com top unsigned FA Cornerbacks include: Peanut Tillman Patrick Robinson Tarrell Brown Kyle Wilson Brandon Harris Josh Wilson EJ Biggers Carlos Rodgers Ike Taylor ( likely to retire) And our favorite Antoine Cason

Seattle claimed him off of our practice squad if I remember correctly.

Boykin will probably make the team since he can play special teams after all what's the point of keeping a back up if he isn't versatile? He could also step up if someone gets injured. I'm not saying he will be our starting WR but injuries happen in the NFL and teams that have good depth overcome injuries.

For those who are complaining would you rather us have Chandler and Foucault as back ups? No let me guess you would rather us spend a few million on a injured Jake Long because he was good four years ago. How about spend 5+ million on Barksdale? Or we could claim a former 2nd rounder by just taking on his rookie contract of about 1 million. This was a great move by Gettleman. He isn't going to be the starter unless he earns it and if he can beat out Reammers then he deserves to start. I don't care about what happend two years ago because that is the past.

With all the Pot issues you maybe right but I see Shane Ray being a bust as well. Heck Fowler and Vic Beasly have a big chance of being bust as well, this draft has a lot of risky edge rushers in the first. I believe Beasly will be successful and I defiantly don't want to see him picked by the Falcons.
