Very polarizing draft pick - The Falcon Jedi - 04-29-2011 09:24 AM
This was a very controversial move by Dimitroff and the Falcons and people either Love it or Hate it - not much in between.
After sleeping on it Ive come to the conclusion that I am in the middle. I dont love it, nor do I hate it. I am however curious to see how it turns out. I can see Dimitroff's logic - basically mirroring my opinion that there really isnt much to choose from in this draft - so we went and got one of the handful of players that are actually worth a shit. It was a very bold move, uncharacteristic of this regime, and I kind of like that. Maybe we needed to make a bold, uncharacteristic move to infuse some energy into the program.
I dont like how much we had to give away to make this happen, and I really hope Jones can become more dependable with his hands, but sometimes you have to risk everything to win everything.
Im Ok with it, for now.

there really are only 2 schools of thought here and 2 camps
CAMP A :there are people who love the bold move for the explosive wr
CAMP B: there are people who hate the move cause they believe they gave up wayyyyyyyyyyyy to much for a unproven player
I dont think Ive heard anyone say JONES WILL BE A BUST ...I dont think thats the case , he might never turn out to be the star we thought we were trading for but I dont see a complete and utter bust that we will regret for next 5 years making this move
It was just a complete and unnecessary and even a panic move

Jedi you said repeatedly that this draft class sucks, asked if we can just skip the entire draft, etc . . . well, we made a bold move and got a guy that arguably will have a much bigger impact on our team than anyone at 27 or in the second round.

I like it because we are the ones who did it.
I find it funny that some of the same people who have bitched and moaned about Dimitroff's steady, almost predictable, piece-by-piece manner of building the Falcons the past 3 years are now crying over this uncharacteristic (for our FO) move.
It's almost like Dimitroff humped their wife or something. The guy can't win.

I guess I should have quoted Swift because that was directed at him. Your OP was actually reasonable & consistent with what you've been saying... "This draft sux, I don't care". Well, they apparently agreed that the best move was to go get a sure thing rather than meander in the mediocre.
