1. After Dimitroff called Belichick “as a friend,” the mentor advised him not to make the Julio Jones trade. He felt the Falcons should have stayed at No. 27 and picked Pittsburgh’s Jonathan Baldwin. The deal was too pricey for Belichick’s blood. (Baldwin was our selection in one of my early Mocks drafts. He went to Kansas City on the 26th pick. He caught a couple balls last night in the win over San Diego.). http://blogs.ajc.com/atlanta-falcons-bl ... nes-trade/
The biggest issue I had with the trade is Atlanta not adding as much depth as possible. It was evident to me that Atlanta still lacked what it takes to be a serious contender and I wanted them to focus more on improving the defense.
