JULIO JONES RUMORS & GOSSIP
2012 Atlanta Falcons Draft Grade
The Julio Jones results draft is what this will be known as from here on out, as the Atlanta Falcons mortgaged their 2012 NFL Draft in order to move up and get a game changer in Jones in the 2011 draft. The results are still TBD, but the immediate outcome was another first round loss by the Falcons where Jones was, well not overly effective, at no fault of his own.

Draft Grades: Atlanta Falcons
The Atlanta Falcons had very little to work with as a result of their trade for Julio Jones in last year’s draft. As a result, I’ll evaluate this class based solely on the picks with which they had to work. That said, the Falcons did absolutely nothing to help them in 2012 and added very little by the way of developmental prospects.
Peter Konz was the best center in this...

After big splash last year, Falcons going low key
The Atlanta Falcons made quite a splash in last year's NFL draft.
This year, they'll likely spend a lot of time sitting around.
The Falcons are one of three teams that did not have a pick in Thursday night's first round. Considering what they gave up to get receiver Julio Jones in 2011, there's little chance of the team moving up to make another high-profile selection...

Can Julio Jones Play Defense for the Falcons?
When the Atlanta Falcons traded away a handful of draft picks last year to grab Julio Jones in the first round, I questioned the move. I knew then that it was not only going to severely affect last year’s draft, but the 2012 draft as well. The question is, can Julio Jones play defense in the secondary, or protect Matt Ryan on the offensive line, or return punts and kickoffs...

2012 NFL draft: Possible selections for the Atlanta Falcons
Was Julio Jones worth the pick? Is what many fans of the Atlanta Falcons must be thinking as they have no first round pick in the 2012 NFL draft. The Falcons finished the regular season 10-6 and clinched the No. 5 seed in the playoffs only to be knocked out in the first round for

Point/Counter-Point: Was Julio Jones Worth the Cost?
Welcome to Point/Counter-Point. This is where we take a hot topic and look at the issue from two differing perspectives. A couple of weeks ago we discussed Falcons RB Michael Turner. Today we take a look at Julio Jones and the cost associated with drafting him. The Falcons swapped their 27th overall pick in last years draft for Cleveland's 6th overall pick and also sent the...

Julio Jones has been electric for the Atlanta Falcons this year
22-year old WR Julio Jones has been everything the Falcons thought he would be, and more. He has been the true gamebreaking receiver that the Falcons have needed for quite some time. Jones has played in 11 games for the Falcons so far this year and he has caught 42 passes for 755 yards (18.0 avg) with 5 TD grabs. He has also carried the ball 5 times for 47 yards (9.4 avg) so...

Julio Jones finally supplying explosiveness
The Falcons drafted wide receiver Julio Jones to add some explosiveness to their offense.
Against the Carolina Panthers, he came through with two touchdowns, including a 75-yarder.
The rookie wide receiver rebounded from the previous week's poor performance with a 104-yard game in Sunday's 31-23 victory over the Panthers. Both touchdowns came in the fourth quarter of the...

WR Julio Jones still feeling his way with Falcons
Julio Jones is ready to give the Atlanta Falcons another breakout game.
The NFL's No. 6 overall draft pick will have another chance Sunday when the Falcons (7-5) visit Carolina (4-8), but Jones believes he's barely tapped his potential in his rookie season.
Injuries to both hamstrings sidelined him in four of Atlanta's last six games, and Jones is coming off his toughest...
