Should the Falcons do another Julio Jones type of trade?

Should the Falcons do another Julio Jones type of trade for this coming draft?

Atlanta trades a bunch of lower picks to get into the top ten of the 2013 draft, to get an elite pass rush or offensive tackle?

For me, it depends on which player is going to be available, but Dimitroff has my full support. I've been unhappy with many of his draft selections, but overall, the Falcons are a much better team now, and he deserves most of the credit.

+1, in TD we trust. The Julio trade was a success, he drafted Matt Ryan and our Defensive Standout Sean Weatherspoon. But my personal opinion is that we should wait for next year unless we get a player like Jarvis Jones this season. If not I've got my eye on Jadavion Clowney next season

That would be kinda stupid since this upcoming draft class sucks.

Bjoern Werner and Jarvis Jones could be available if TD gets in the top 10 again, Taylor Lewan and Luke Joeckel will also be available if TD wants to address the OL.

its also tempting to wait next year when Clowney and Stephon Tuitt and Adrian Hubbard will be available. TD knows how to evaluate talent and character and i have no problem in trading a bunch of low level picks who will end up being a bunch nobodys for a corner stone on defense

It would be beyond idiotic for the Falcons to unload picks to move up for a guy like Jarvis Jones.

If TD knew how to evaluate talent then those late round picks wouldn't turn out to be nobodies.

this statement is so dumb, i don't know where to start.

Bosher, - starter
Jacquizz Rodgers, - heavy usage 2nd RB
Akeem Dent, - starter
Corey Peters, - starter
Dominique Franks, - special teams starter
William Moore, - starter, pro bowler
Kroy Biermann, - starter
Thomas DeCoud, - starter, pro bowler
Harry Douglas - slot receiver

TD has been brilliant drafting in every round.

i don't know if your trolling or just very ill informed, maybe a little bit of both, but half of Dimitroff's picks end up panning out which is the highest average in the NFL

"Under Dimitroff the Falcons have selected 32 players, and 26 of them are either starters or reserves, a retention rate of 81.25 percent. "

I don't think so. My personal assessment of this draft is that its deep but not top-heavy, just the opposite of the 2011 Draft.

It might make sense for them to trade up into the late teens/early 20's range, but top-10 is probably more expensive than it'll be worth.
