The Falcons have greater needs than upgrading over Hooper.   Especially,  at DT and at RG.  So much will depend on their draft board.  I can envision them taking a Guard, TE, or Defensive Lineman in Round 1.

I've actually been wondering if maybe the Patriots are in play to make a move for Julio Jones. 

They have the extra picks to make it happen and I just don't buy the "deleting all of his falcons posts on social media" has nothing to do with him wanting out.

Thanks for mentioning the info regarding Julio Jones and Social Media.  With everything going on with the pre-draft stuff,  I didn't see anything regarding the Julio Jones this week previously.  

After seeing your reply,  I came across the following.  While I'm not ruling out a possibility for a trade involving Julio Jones,   at least for now,  I would be surprised if it happens.  The Falcons need help in their passing game even with Jones.  W/o him,  their two high caliber RBs would be seeing stacked boxes early and often.
