Should the Falcons trade up in the draft to snatch Calvin Johnson?

I really think they should because the receiver play of the Falcons last season was terrible...and with me being an Atlanta citizen, it embarrasses me to see Vick throw all of those accurate balls and having the receivers blow it at the end by dropping the balls in the endzone...and if they get Johnson, that'll be fixed right away...another interesting fact is that Calvin Johnson will be able to stay in his local area if the Falcons end up trading up to draft him (since CJ went to GT)...so what do you think about this?  I know it's extremely unlikely but I certainly hope it happens.

As a Saints fan, I'll unbiasedly say...

HELL NO!! :|

What do the Falcons have that is attractive enought to get them that pick?Ngamer05

No..Im a raider fan and Johnson is ours..and whats wrong with Jarrad?

Fans seem to act like trading up is just a process of pushing the “trade up” button and blamo you’ve got a good player. In fact you have to give a fair amount up to trade up, you loose those 2nd and 3rd round picks that often can turn out to be great players, and even after that you might not get the player, or you might loose another player the next season and wish you had drafted a few other good guys to fill in :( Trading up can work, but it also can suck far worse than if you’d just gone with the picks you had.duxup

See the Saints trading up to get Johnathan Sullivan in 2003 for proof...

To trade up for a prospect like CJ, who is the best prospect this year, would require a lot. Think your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Hell, he, again, is the best prospect. Hes even labeled as a top WR prospect of all time. Think a future 1st. And a couple of productive players. Say goodbye to jerious norwood and matt schaub. And your getting a WR, the least important position of any offense.

The eli manning trade is a perfect example. Its never a good idea to trade the farm for a unproven player. Just stick at 10. You will get a good player.

LOL Russell's stock didnt fall to the 2nd round.Espurs117

Wait...What?! Garcia in silver and black? I don't know, he is a WO quarterback, not something that the long ball loving Al Davis prefers. Also seeing another niner in those colors feels oh too stange for me. I know Jamarcus Russell's stock has dropped, but I think he has one more chance to prove his stuff at the LSU pro day.

Theres more than 1 top QB at the draft. Davis could still select Russell or Quinn. I could see russell going to the browns or bucs but if he doesnt get selected by oakland he could fall a bit. Same with quinn. It could go either way.

Honestly, since russell came to the combine overweight and sounded lazy in his interviews (supposedly, thats what ive read) you have to question his commitment. The combine is a job interview. Who goes to job interviews unprepared? If you care, you dont. That raises questions, whether they are legitimate or not.
