My first mock draft

[SC Skins Fan]

Going by the NFL's draft value chart, the Falcon's picks are worth:

34 = 560
37 = 530
48 = 420

The Skins pick is worth:

21 = 800

So getting their top two picks in the second round would leave us owing them 290, or the equivalent of a late second or very early third (our second is valued at 390; our third at 170). Given the needs the Falcons have I don't see them trading back into the first unless something crazy happens (like Matt Ryan drops a la Brady Quinn last year).

Agreed, but what about another qb. Say Brohm? There could be a couple of those guys available at #21 & if Atl. doesn't draft a qb w/their #1, trading up to get one makes sense given the no. of picks they have. In the end they'd get 3 players in the 1st 2 rounds, one of which could be a qb. We'd get 3 2nd rounders w/no 1st rounder. Not too bad a deal if they really have their eyes on someone that ends up available at #21.
