Roddy White on cost to trade up for Julio Jones: "... We give up our draft."
There were rumors that the Atlanta Falcons were interested in moving up in an attempt to get an elite wide receiver: Georgia's A.J. Green or Alabama's Julio Jones.
However, it seemed unlikely considering the amount of compensation that would be necessary to move from the 27th pick to somewhere within the top six picks to draft one of those two receivers.
Well, the Falcons pulled off a trade with the Browns, who held the sixth overall pick, to draft Jones, which gives Atlanta a huge upgrade at the No. 2 receiver to pair with Roddy White.
White's initial reaction (via his Twitter account) was to say he was "excited" that "we got julio jones."
The "excitement" was short-lived as he tweeted next, "Well I was wrong we give up our draft."
The Falcons traded their first-, second- and fourth-round picks this year in addition to their first- and fourth-round picks in 2012 to move up into Cleveland's spot.
So, what does White think the Falcons should do with the rest of their picks?
White tweeted, "Has daquan bowers been pick if not we should give the rest of our picks away for him."
Last year, White led the league in receptions (115) and finished second in yardage (1,389) behind Denver's Brandon Lloyd while scoring ten touchdowns.
The team's next three wideouts (Michael Jenkins, Harry Douglas and Brian Finneran) combined for a total of 82 receptions for 965 yards and six touchdowns.
