I'd do it for the first 3 in that list. Maybe we need to look our options at #6. Personally, I'd take Mack (doubt he's there tho) or Matthews at #6 and wait on QB. Bortles would be the only QB I'd take that high if QB is the choice.

Atlanta had a season similar to ours last year in that they opened with high expectations and ended in disaster. But they did not blow it up like us. They think they can be right back contending for a super bowl this year. This lends support to the thought they would give up a 2015 1st. They are coaching for their jobs there and they either win this year (and it's a low pick) or they get fired and they don't care who has the pick.
I would jump all over this. At worst we get a low 1st. At best they fall apart under Mike Smith again, he gets fired, and we end up with a pick near the top of next year's draft.
