Default Is Atlanta positioning to move up for Calvin Johnson?

wanted to get your thoughts on this.......
Why was the switch of draft choices part of this deal?

ATL at # 8 could be positining itself to trade up to # 2
(Lions),to take Calvin Johnson.

Vick needs a real go to guy.....His receivers all have the dropsys,Also,Johnson is from Georgia Tech.

interesting.......what are your thoughts

i doubt it....because of the depth at WR this year's draft...you'll probably see 3 WR's go off the board by the end of round one...and i think theres like a list of 8-10 great wr's in the draft, at least projected going on the first day....passing up on laron landry would be insane, considering the fact that they now have the texan's #8 pick in the 2nd round, and (i would assume) their own 2nd round pick at #10....

if the falcons did take cj...then they'll have to depend on vick to get the ball to cj horn and crumpler every game...it'll be a shootout every week since the db's (minus hall) are not that great...

I'm with you... I think that this is exactly what the Birds are trying to do. CJ is a freak of nature.... kid can do some great things and IF the Birds can get any sort of good deal to move up and get him, they'll pull the trigger...I don't know what they'd have to add to the #8, one #2 for this year and the HOU #2 for next year... but whatever it is... it'd basically be their backup QB and (whatever that pick or picks are) for a true "stud WR".... in ATL, where they believe that all is good except for WR.

Now, I believe that Vick is the problem, but hey... I'm not them!

62 % of the respondents on ESPN's Draft poll believe WR is Atlanta's biggest need.

Oh....and again.....He is from Georgia Tech,folks

I've Seen alot of Mock Drafts with Atlanta Taking Landry at #10.

Maybe the thought the Pats were going to move in front of them and draft Landry?

I don't care if he's from Georgia Tech, #8 and two #2s is just too much IMO especially in this deep WR year.
