The sound you are hearing is Giovanni Bernard's dynasty value being taken out to the wood shed for a beatdown.
Why would it be SO different?Yeah. A little curious about that myself. Really thought they would address this. What a fine line. Any of these RBs go to atlanta and their value is SO different.thought the falcons would trade up to get Hyde, oh wellGore in the twilight, LaMichael moving elsewhere, Lattimore not ready.... Hunter ? mehVery shocked.I guess Lattimore isn't ready
shock pick for me.
Still a surprising pick.
Apparently coach wasn't kidding when he said he'd be surprised if Blackmon plays this year.Blackmon value in the toilet. He's probably not playing in Jax again.Shorts stock down.
JAX takes Lee and Robinson.
Maybe the reports they weren't counting on Blackmon weren't smoke?Shorts stock down.
JAX takes Lee and Robinson.
Because, right or wrong, had any of those three went to atlanta, there are enough people who's say sjax is done that it would have moved the needle on the rookie RBs value very high.Why would it be SO different?Yeah.

They're going to battle for the starting job, don't think we can assume either one wins out.I love Hyde to SF. Power running team, behind a 31-year old Gore, a meh Hunter and Lattimore who it doesn't seem like the 49ers have confidence in.
I think there are enough people who think Gore is about done and Greene stinks to make their value very high as is.Because, right or wrong, had any of those three went to atlanta, there are enough people who's say sjax is done that it would have moved the needle on the rookie RBs value very high.Why would it be SO different?Yeah.

Great pick for New England. I expect Mallett to be moved soon, hopefully real soon.Garoppolo - Up
The QB with the quickest release in the draft learning from the QB with the quickest release in the NFL.
Difference is, in Atlanta, it's an old sjax and nothing else. The other teams have Lattimore, Greene, etc. that's more of a competition than jaquizz Rogers.

This is the best any Foster owners could hope for.Up-Arian Foster. Texans not even sniffing for a complementary back and are adding line and blocking.

Rookies. The best WR went to a bad weather city playing for a running team with a running QB coming off an injury. The second best WR is going to be playing for Lovie (not Trestman) and a career backup QB who parlayed a good quarter of a season throwing to Marshall and Jeffrey into a job as the placeholder QB for Mike Glennon and whoever they draft two years from now. The third best WR will be playing on a "broken" offense with an aging QB who's starting to show signs of suckage and competing with Cruz, a reasonably decent Randle, and a decent slot guy. The WRs who ended up in the best situations are Cooks, who is basically Devery Henderson 2.0, Mathews, who will be the number three or four target in a great offense, and Adams, who will probably pass Boykin on the depth chart eventually. You could make a case that the Lee is one of the top rookie WRs, because somebody has to catch passes there, but the Jaguars now have just enough guys to screw that up too. By the time Lattimer is good, Denver won't be.The RBs aren't much better. Sankey went to a decent situation, but he's got plenty of question marks. Hyde is in a great situation, along with Gore, who is in a great situation, and Lattimore, who is in a great situation, and Hunter, who is in a great situation, and LMJ, who is in a great situation. Ugh. Then there's Hill, who simultaneously screwed his own value in Cinci and took the top off of Gio's upside as well.For veterans or the rookies?This rookie draft is shaping up to suck.

As a Gio and Lattimore owner should I not worry about Hill and Hyde either?not by much - Sims won't get many carries.Doug Martin - Down
No one knows what Lattimore is, and Greene is JAG. Quizz has caught 50+ passes each of the last two years. O-lines are better IMO in both SF and Tenn as well (even after Robinson).Difference is, in Atlanta, it's an old sjax and nothing else.

seriously, duhFalcons haven't taken another RB.why is Quizz up??
If Brady has 3yrs left why take a qb now when you could take someone to help the pats win now while Brady's window is still open?Brady has 2, maybe 3 productive years left.

Yeah, I completely disagree. Situation certainly matters, but it can also change pretty quickly. I'd rather have more talented guys in seemingly so so situations than the reverse.Rookies. The best WR went to a bad weather city playing for a running team with a running QB coming off an injury. The second best WR is going to be playing for Lovie (not Trestman) and a career backup QB who parlayed a good quarter of a season throwing to Marshall and Jeffrey into a job as the placeholder QB for Mike Glennon and whoever they draft two years from now.

The top QB might be the Jaguars guy, or the Browns guy, or maybe the Vikings guy or Oakland guy. None of those are traditionally great places to be, but maybe Bortles and his two new rookie WRs will be good once he's allowed to start. Carr may be redshirting, too, but at least he has those awesome Oakland receivers to work with. Manziel should be able to win the starting job, but just when you might be getting excited about him, you find out he might be losing Gordon Bridgewater is probably in the best situation, throwing to an aging Jennings, a raw Cordarelle, and an overhyped Rudolph, but he's got size concerns and is going to be playing his home games outdoors in Minnesota for a couple years, so it's hard to get too excited.
I guess you might be excited about Zac Efron, but that offense was already oversaturated with Calvin, Tate, Bush and that backup RB everyone likes. ASJ is probably just good enough to screw over Wright owners on the Bucs. And Amaro is playing with Geno.
Last year had some mediocre talent end up in fantastic landing spots. This year has better talent, but the landing spots have been the ugliest possible for fantasy owners. Even the supposedly great depth is getting beaten up. There's no question that some of these guys will pan out, but it's going to be nigh impossible to figure out which ones. Just a brutal draft for guys holding multiple 2014 firsts.
Better to coach up a QB like Garoppolo than to worry about it when Brady retires/can't do it anymore.If Brady has 3yrs left why take a qb now when you could take someone to help the pats win now while Brady's window is still open?Brady has 2, maybe 3 productive years left.

It's not like they are good enough to take a backup qb in the 2nd .rd.
The 'Up' was based on the assumption the Falcons would draft a RB by now and make his value zero. His value is still low but at least he has a shot at another 50 catch season.there is still time.seriously, duhFalcons haven't taken another RB.why is Quizz up??
The point is that Quizz has been mediocre for his entire career - don't know why people would jump on the bandwagon now.
Not me. I'm with Fred on this. I've had my fill of JSTEw's and Jared cooks while watching things called victor Cruz and Arian Foster land in perfect places and flourish despite not being consensus stud talents.

Can't figure out what they are thinking at TE over the past 2 years knowing Tony G. was going to retire. Passed on a lot of possible replacements.The Quizz is up
Atl not taking RB or TE after their 3rd pick, kind of wow'd
