I think a lot will depend on the rest of Free Agency. IF the Panthers make a deal and pick up the Seattle LT, Duane Brown, then all bets on the #6 pick are OFF.!! If we don't get a Tackle in FA, then we probably draft one. Maybe at #6, maybe not. If we DO get a Tackle, then I EXPECT us to trade back aways. How far?? Good question. Depends on what is on offer. My gut feeling is we do some sort of a deal, then trade back at least once, maybe twice. Then draft best player available.....maybe a QB, maybe not. If we can't get Ekwonu, then I'm all in on Penning. If we wait later, there are several more Tackles that would bolster our line. I'm particularly interested in Faalele. He's huge, 6'8" & 385-390. He moves good for a big man. Would need some "seasoning", but we have some other guys available.
QBs this year are a gamble IMHO..... Pickett is probably the most "ready", and I realize that Tepper is a Pitt supporter. Not certain what that means, but... Anyway, I'm not too enthused about drafting ANY QB this year.
****WELL---IT"S OFFICIAL****
The Falcons have signed Marcus Mariota. He was MY choice of the remaining Free Agents. I was sort of hoping we would get him... Oh well..!!
So that probably takes Atlanta out of the QB scramble. At least initially. They may still draft someone, but I wouldn't count on it. So, I think this changes the look of the QB market in the 1st round.
