The Falcons have glaring needs across the Oline and Dline, the kind of needs that require first round draft picks.   Good luck selling them on drafting Haskins and Ryan Finley (lol) when Matt Ryan is still playing lights out and they have a window open.  

No I see the reasoning for it, just doesn't make sense for the Falcons situation, pretty sure most Falcons fans would agree too. If Ryan was actually declining you could make a stronger argument for it, not when he's playing very very well and is still a top 10 QB, should be for the foreseeable future too.

Let's also not forget that this might be the deepest DLine draft in a long time. No chance Falcons take a QB. If they draft high enough, I actually think they could trade down (still in the top 10) and gain more picks to fill their needs.
