They do have Atlanta's first rounder this year from the trade down last year and that is when I go O lineman or the defensive help.
I just think it's time to do it. Cam Newton's gonna be real good no matter what you think of him. Matthew Stafford is real good now...Matt Ryan is real good now...even Alex Smith is pretty good right now...I rarely see very high drafted qb's completely fail. Tim Couch was never as bad as he was made out to be (that's another story for another day!), and Brady Quinn is long past. It's time to stop being afraid of high drafted qb's.

But what is a
real highly rated qb going to
do here!!?
There's nothing for him to
do!
I don't follow NFL too much.I said what I did about Newton to piss off Dahla...which I enjoy.
Thomas has been ProBowl/AllPro just about every year. Mack made ProBowl first year.Haden is generally recognized as one of he best cb's in the AFC.The other picks are doing well on defense.
I do think just as many high profile qb's guys fail as don't......and many were'nt high picks who do make it big.
Not suggesting a trade down,but to me ...going with a qb at 1 and wide outs(
especially) at 2-4 don't make any sense on this team.
