THE AFTERMATH: Grade the Falcons draft

FLOWERY BRANCH – You all can stop by and grade the Falcons’ draft today.
Here are my four thoughts before I head off to do my civic duty and serve as a judge for the Falcons cheerleader tryouts.
- WHAT’S UP AT FULLBACK?: It can’t be a good thing for Ovie Mughelli that they drafted a fullback. While TD wouldn’t comment about the salary cap implications, the team likely doesn’t want to pay almost $4 million for a fullback that will probably be on the field just 20 percent of the plays. Also, they are low on funds and need some room for the rookies.
- THE RIGHT ATTITUDE: I’m warming up to the Lamar Holmes’ pick. He seemed to have a mean and nasty attitude when we chatted.
- THE SACK EXCHANGE: The Jonathan Massaquoi pick was a winner if he can get to the quarterback. If Ray Edwards and Kroy Biermann (Aside: I missed the wedding show. How was it?) don’t pick it up, he could get a shot. He plays specials teams and can move ahead of Lawrence Sidbury, who’s had a tough time on specials.
- 4. THE BACK END: Charles Mitchell seemed like a nice kid. He’ll have to move ahead of Shann Schillinger to be the top backup. He likely won’t able to challenge DeCoud or Moore as a rookie.
Also, there are a bunch of unreliable and unconfirmed free agent signings out there on Twitter. I’m going to wait for the team’s official list on Monday.
Here’s a look at the draft pick and remember to leave your draft grade for the Falcons:
Peter Konz, C/G
Second round (55th overall)
Wisconsin
6-foot-5, 313 pounds
Hometown: Neenah, Wis.
Notes: Konz was considered the top center in the draft. He was very effective blocking in Wisconsin’s inside zone-blocking scheme and was skilled at getting outside on toss sweeps. They also ran a lot of inside-power and play-action. “Konz has Pro Bowl potential written all over him if he can prove durable and play an entire year,” ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said. “He is a huge anchor with outstanding athleticism. … He could be a factor at guard as well with the way he pulled and trapped at the center position with the Badgers.” Konz says he models his game after Nick Mangold. “He went to Ohio State and is a great player. He was a tough and physical guy. … Joe Thomas, a great Wisconsin offensive lineman. Every offensive lineman at Wisconsin tries to be like Joe in one aspect or another. We just try to be solid people and great football players.”
Lamar Holmes, offensive tackle
Third round (91st overall)
Southern Mississippi
6-foot-6, 334 pounds
Hometown: Gastonia, N.C.
Notes: Started his career at Itawamba Community College before transferring to Southern Mississippi. He played right and left tackle in junior college. In 2011, he played in all 13 games at Southern Miss, making six starts at left tackle. He was a first-team all-Conference USA pick last season after starting 14 games at left tackle. He was a team captain. He was projected as late pick by the Pro Football Weekly and rated as the 29th- best tackle in the draft by ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper. “It was great being a captain, because my teammates voted for me,” Holmes said. “Coming from junior college, they really didn’t have to do that because they didn’t know me. I guess they voted me as captain because they seen me work hard every day.”
Bradie Ewing, fullback
Fifth round (157th overall)
Wisconsin
5-foot-11, 243 pounds
Hometown: Richland Center, Wis.
Notes: Started his career as a walk-on for the Badgers. After his second season he was awarded a scholarship. He is noted for his blocking. He registered 30 touchdown-resulting blocks as he cleared the way for running back Montee Ball. He caught all 28 passes targeted to him last season and 19 of those catches went for first downs and 16 were of 10 yards or more. He was a team captain. “I’m just a versatile guy,” Ewing said. “I can do all the things as a fullback. I can block. I can catch. I can split out as a receiver. I think it’s my versatility [that the Falcons liked].”
Jonathan Massaquoi, defensive end
Fifth round (164th overall)
Troy
6-foot-2, 264 pounds
Hometown: Lawrenceville
Notes: Massaquoi, who moved to the United States from Liberia when he was six months old, played for Bradley Warren at Central Gwinnett. He committed to Troy coming out of high school, but started his career at Butler Community College in Kansas. He played there for a year before honoring his commitment to Troy. “He’s another guy coming out of a Troy program that has been quietly supplying the NFL with good players over the past several years,” ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper said. “Massaquoi was a good, solid player at Troy for two years.” Massaquoi ran the 40-yard dash in 4.78 seconds at the scouting combine, had a 33 1/2 inch vertical jump and lifted 225 pounds 20 times.
Charles Mitchell, strong safety
Sixth round (192nd overall)
Mississippi State
5-foot-11, 203 pounds
Hometown: Clarksdale, Miss.
Notes: Played in 50 games and made 38 starts for the Bulldogs. He was a hard hitter with 188 tackles and four career interceptions. He played as a freshmen after being named Mississippi’s Gatorade player of the year. “Mitchell is an athletic kid with good range in the secondary,” ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper said. “He has just average speed, but very impressive leaping ability, and he can play either free or strong safety. … He will be a borderline starter in the NFL. … He’ll also be an asset on special teams.” He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.52 seconds at Mississippi State’s Pro Day. He lifted 225 pounds, 19 times and had a 37-inch vertical jump at the scouting combine. He was a team captain.
Travian Robertson, Defensive tackle
Seventh round (249th overall)
South Carolina
6-foot-4, 300 pounds
Hometown: Laurinburg, N.C.
Notes: He started all 14 games in 2010 after his 2009 season was cut short by injury. He finished with 42 tackles, 10 tackles for losses and four sacks. He started all 13 games for the Gamecocks last season and had 49 tackles and a blocked a kick. He was a team captain. He was a preseason all-SEC second-team pick by Phil Steele. He was considered a key player in the interior of the Gamecocks’ defense and was known for getting great penetration and having a high motor. Robertson has earned his degree in criminal justice. Overall, he started 32 of 56 games he played in at South Carolina. He was rated as the 25th-best defensive tackle in the draft by ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper.

This draft was a D+ AT BEST…
Absolutely Agree!!! All Teams who were in th NFC playoffs became more exsplosive. Atlanta did not. We fell farther behind the Giants, Packers, and most definitely, the 49ers. Panthers and Bucs will be more exslosive and will probably sweep the Falcons this season. Saints are still better than we are.

When I think about what most people were identifying as the needs of this team, it seems like TD did a pretty good job of trying to address them. On the OL we got our center of the future who can play RG now, we got a wide body LT who can push Baker, and we got a blocking FB who can catch screen passes. On defense we got a pass rushing DE, a safety to push DeCoud and be there if Moore gets hurt again, and another big body for DT. Throw in that we got a Pro Bowl Corner for a 7th round pick and I have to give it a strong grade B+.

Prophesy is a good line of business (for Kiper), but it is full of risks. Just like with college recruiting, trying to judge a draft is a superfluous exercise. It’ll take a couple of years to truly judge this draft. Looks like TD was going for character and leadership with all the “captains”. Like the picks for Linemen. Where is the punt/kick returner? C+, for the paucity of picks.

This guy would have gone undrafted. We could have picked an impact player here…

D- grade. Not happy where we are at. Peter Konz is always injured. I love Julio Jones but trading the farm has hurt the team. I said it before trading up to get him has set the team back 2 years. He had a great year for a rookie needs a all out breakout pro bowl year in order to forget about the trade. The defense front four will still be a problem need sacks and hit the quaterbacks. I don’t want hear Smith say Sacks are overatted. Poor excuses. Time to rise up Atlanta.

Horrible draft! I guess TD things Gonzalez is going to play forever. Orson Charles would have been a great pick and although they did not have a pick in the 4th round, they good have easily traded a pick to get there. U know, like the GREAT teams do…At some point this GM has to be called out for his dubious drafts instead of getting a pass because he drafted Matt Ryan…

D – once again the Falcons take aplayer with a history with injuries with their first pick and then start reaching, including with players who are so far down every all of everyone else’s charts that it’s not even funny (see the fullback selected). He could have been picked up in the sixth or seventh round, possibly even as a free agent according to all the people in the know. No wonder they can’t win any playoff games…

I rate this draft a B-. They filled the needs the team had.Competition on the offensive line will be heated which we needed. I wish the fullback was bigger. Not sure if he can put a lick on some of the bigger LB’s etc. The TE situation after Tony leaves will be addressed with next years draft or through free agency. Love the Asante trade, but I wish we would have replaced Decoud. Look forward to training camp.

Anyone that gives this draft anything worse than a C- is either (1) an idiot or (2) knows very little about football. TD did an amazing job filling “needs”. There were no “impact players” on defense for atlanta in the 3rd round, yet he may have found 1 definitely starter in Konz (2nd) and a very possible starter 2 or 3 years down the road in Holmes. And I can’t wait to see the kid from Troy. Gotta love those high motor guys. There were no TEs to choose from to “replace Gonzalez”. That can be taken care of in next year’s draft or FA. Have some patience. Everyone wanted ATL to draft a DE in 2nd round, but the Assante Samuel trade makes the defensive line that much better. If you can’t see Robinson, Grimes and Samuel making the d-line better, than you should start watching another sport.

The Falcons had a decent draft if not a very good one, time will tell. I feel good about this draft and even better about Julio. This could be a very good year and the cuts from the rest of the league could yield a gem or two. I got a feeling we are going to enjoy this season and the playoffs bigtime. The Falcons have a good thing going on here with T. Dim and Smitty, that may not be a popular statement but that’s how I feel.

If Asante Samuel has anything left in the tank, then this was at least a middling draft…hardly a really good one. The TD penchant for drafting linemen who are injury-prone with subpar upper body strength continues. The LT problem has yet to be solved. There’s a lot of “coaching up” work for the new OC/DC to do. Otherwise, Ryan’s throws will still be hurried and long balls will be few and far between. Look for a lot of JJ quick bursts over the middle. Hardly his best use, but this OL won’t give Ryan (when he’s not running for his life) time to do much else. Cut Baker and Jerry now. They are best used for converting oxygen into carbon dioxide.

Draft Grades –
Caveat Emptor, Mia Culpa big time–
Having said that (in a Southern Accent, of course), every year I see two common threads with many draft grades that are assigned by “experts”
1) None are accountable like the GM’s that are actually making the picks. Who lost their job by rnaking the Tom Brady Pick a mistake? Who was hurt by grading the LSU QB as the top pick a few years ago? Who among us suffered any accountability issues whatsoever by calling Corry Peters pick an error when we grabbed him in the 3rd? These grades are worth every penny we pay for them. Still fun, though. As I said, Mia Culpa, dude.
2) Seems to me that if the highly paid GM made the same pick as they fan giving the grad, he is smart. If the GM makes a different pick, he’s an idiot. Grades seem to be a function of the FAN’s ability to evaluate on limited info several days ahead of the draft, with no idea of who will be available, who is still injured from lasy tear and needs to be replaced, etc. If they guess the same as the GM’s choice, if they evaluate talent the same as the GM and their team, the GM gets a great grade.
Convrersely, if the GM and his gaggle of talent evaluators (and their evaluation resources such as wonderilic’s, and the interviews, and the private workouts, etc.) see things differently than the fan issuing grades (see the Holmes pick this year) the GM is an idiot and gets a poor grade.
Just what I see, and as I said, I am as guilty as anyone.
The draft isn’t a standalone exercise, it comes within the context of free agency, trades, injuries to current staff, salary cap concerns, expiring contracts by vets, etc. Better to grade on the totality of work, and that grade comes at the end of the year and there is ONLY ONE A+, bottom line, Valdectorian of that class, with the best grade, gets the Lombardi.

Has anyone ever graded Kiper or McShay’s draft recommendations three years after the fact? These prognosticators get a free pass. Kind of like the local weatherman. If you strapped the weatherman in his chair and forced him to watch the day before’s forecast and explain how in the hell they got it so wrong, It’s called accountability.
Ditto for Kiper and McShay and company. Love to see their accuracy rate over time.

D+
1) Did nothing to address the tight end position and the lack of a replacement for Gonzalez retirement. The entire league is using two-TE sets because of the match up problems they create, and it appears that the Falcons did not take that into account on their draft board during the 3rd round.
2) Did very little to address problems at DT. If you want the defensive ends to be effective, give them time to work. Good DTs can take away the 3 step drop by collapsing the pocket. Aside from Corey Peters, no one on the depth chart showed an ability to do that last year. Tampa Bay and New Orleans may have the strongest G-C-G combinations in the league, why wasn’t this taken into account? Even if we sign Abrayo Franklin, this is still a head-shaker.
3) I have some confidence in the two Wisconsin players. I hate the Big-10, but Wisconsin coaches players pretty well on how to block. This draft comes down to Lamar Holmes. If Sam Baker is kept, gets hurt, and Holmes can’t step in and play LT well enough to keep the position, this draft is a failure. It fell apart because we reached in the 3rd round for him. If he becomes an average to above average power LT, this draft goes up to B, but when you look at the players Atlanta showed interest in that came off the board between their 3rd and 5th round picks, reaching for Holmes becomes highly questionable.

this c/g was an good pick. no not good but huge pick like has size the only thing i see wrong is that if he can prove durable and play an entire year. his grade 3.5 Now this next pick I cant say huge cause if 313 is huge , What is 334lb … I not as crazy as I was with Peter Konz. I think that we could have gotten so one better than hem , not to say that hes not a good pick. This one is an 3.0 this could have been an 4.0 if they have pick an diffint ol .WHAT’S UP AT FULLBACK?: sad to say that hes gone , I do see something that most people dont can you say trade Ovie Mughelli for next year TE and open up trade talks for an most wanted DE you see you guys cant look at thing the way there are You got to look past . That win you see what i see …… hahahahah but as the fullback he getts an 3.8….. cause he open up trades….Jonathan Massaquoi, defensive end, should be call THE END for some dl on the Falcons nice pick . there is a need for kick off team , and punts this free up beerman, sid and some other guys to defince thats to all the pick have done. and I give this guy an 3.6 cause of that …….Charles Mitchell, strong safety dont know to much about this pick , he did play SEC so his not that bad of a player, with that speed he chould be the next gunner 2.9……Travian Robertson, Defensive tackle high motor can play all the dl thats de ut nt de and has an high motor … 3.7 in the 7th… I can see the start of the 3-4 def in years to come not this yr but its coming …… that an 3.4 avg which is an B

I also would like to see how they interpreted Nolans’ and Koetter’s confidential evaluation of current players in relation to how they fit into their new schemes. I know these knuckleheads are privy to that information and would never give an quality rating based just on fantasy football
In TD I trust. What is not to like?

When you give up your 27th pick last season, and 22nd this season, and come away with the draft’s best receiver last season and best Center this season, that’s a solid “A” in anyone’s book.
In one year this team has added Julio Jones, JaQuiz Rogers, Ray Edwards, Asante Samuel, Peter Konz, a lot of good picks below them, a new Offensive Coordinator, Offensive Line Coach, and one of the very best Defensive Coordinators (with Head Coaching skill and experiance) in Nolan.
By anyone’s measurement…that’s getting it done!

Konz had only 18 reps in the 225 lift. There are DB’s who press that much.
Ewing did not even lift at the combine.
Massaquoi was among the worst in the 225 lift
There is a pattern here. No upper body strength. Something needed at their positions to be successful.
Robertson is scouted as “stiff” and unable to penetrate to the backfield.
Again we have drafted great guys with limited football skills.

Sid- the reason he asked is because they could have signed Ewing as a Free agent. No one was going to draft him.
If they are planning on dropping Ovie this guy better really step up as Turner does much better with Ovie playing. Seems pretty risky to assume a rookie can step right up and replace Ovie.
One plus – I do think Ewing will provide me a chance to see those screen passes I have been hoping for.
One day we will all be asking how they could skip on Adams when it was such a need. I will trust the Steelers over TD any day.

A flat out F-. Reason. Players of real need (Tight End) were not addressed at all and could have been had by moving up six spots. James Hanna. Players of real need (Punt/Kick Off Returner) were not addressed at all after losing Eric Weems by moving up five spots. Jordan White. Player I think of as a great need is back up quarterback in case the Great Matt Ryan goes down — who could be learning in the mean time. Far too many names to list here! I believe every player we drafted could have been had in a much later round than they were drafted in by TD. But of course, he could “see it in his mind”! Was focused like a lazer beam on Lamar “Big Wad??” Holmes. Way too much quality was passed over for pretty much a “reach” — if not a down right “STRETCH” — at every pick up and down the board. F-

D- at best, strongly considered a F. No speed, mostly injury prone type players. Who drafts 5′ safeties anymore? Out side of the center/guard fellow and possibly the de guy, and the jury is still out on these guys, the Falcons did nothing to improve last years version of the Falcons. Because of the weak talent that these incoming draftees will have to contend with for a starting position, this years draftees will make the team by default. Sad day in Falcon history if you ask me. Better quit before I change that D- to a F-.

Grade for this draft is a B+. #1. Julio Jones #2 Great pick of a player who knows power football, rated much higher than picked. # 3 . Maybe a reach for Holmes, but physical and versatile and a leader (TE eligible !!) # 4 If you run the ball, better have a lead. Ask Monte (hall ) Ball. walk-on as a freshman, caught every ball thrown to him and moved the sticks? great value here. #5 This is the wild card. look for Massequoi to come in and help as LB or off the edge. Remember Nolan will go to 3-4 at times. # 6 Mitchell is going to be better than other safety’s taken earlier, has good speed and may even get into the return game. Interceptions down a little but check out passes defensed and plays well downhill. # 7 Not sure about Trevian , but this could indicate that Perry is on bubble. #7 Samuel. Hard to find a pro bowl cover corner this late in draft. Why draft a TE with three on roster and the best ones were not there? Well done Smitty and Dimi. Free agents could move this to a A easily. Never forget the Hammer got overlooked by EVERYBODY !

Your draft analysis is an F– Bart Boy. You want the Falcons to choose players who WON’T be on the field. A TE who would not see much action behind Tony, a punt/kick returner who might be a nice upgrade but would only get a few plays a game, and a backup QB who will see no action as along as Matt as healthy and who likely wouldn’t be an upgrade over Redman.
Stick to video games Barty…
