Kudos to "Psychic Gibbon" on the Falcons draft board for puting this together:

Here's a look at the general big board I've put together. I'm sure they've been to other pro days but I haven't been able to confirm them, namely the ones where the people reporting on them only said "X amount of teams were at today's pro day," and never bothered to say who was or wasn't there.

Mike Gillislee is going to be a stud and some team is going to have a real good RB on their hands. I don't know if he'll make it to the 4th but he'd be a steal there.

Jamie Collins sounds to good to be true.

In an ideal world you would like Atlanta to trade their 1st and 4th round picks for somebody's 2nd and 3rd round picks.......and get a guy around pick #40 who you would have been satisfied with #30. One of the teams picking around #40 may want to trade up to #30 to get a QB that they covet. For the price of assuring they get the QB they covet we switch our 4th rounder for their 3rd rounder and get a 2nd round pick around #40 overall .

Then use our two 2nd round picks on a pass rusher like Collins at and the best CB available.

Then get a RG and part time NT with our two 3rd round picks. With our compensatory 4th round pick we take BPA.........maybe an offensive weapon at RB, WR, or TE.

What if it played out like this:

2nd round - Jammie Collins / 3-4 pass rushing OLB or Tank Carradine / 4-3 DE

2nd round - David Amerson or Darious Slay / CB

3rd round - John Jenkins / NT or Vance McDonald / TE

3rd round - Justin Pugh or Alvin Bailey / RG

4th round - Jordan Reed / TE or Kwame Geathers / NT

I'd be doing a happy dance like crazy !

Then add a slot weapon like Onterio McCaleb or Ace Sanders and a MLB late in the draft.
