It's kinda pretty early to determine that the trade was bad move for Falcons, don't you think? Suppose if Jones actually pans out and becomes a great receiver, then would you still believe that the trade is still bad move? Falcons have scouting team, coaches, and whoever else had the input in the trade, all combined presents a great intellect from the front office. Compared to fans altogether. However, I have to admit that Falcons did give up too much; what Falcons gave up, you would think they were trading for a franchise QB.

I remember reading an article about the move somewhere; Falcons' GM Dimitroff explained that they did extensive research on Jones, and based on interview with Jones and the results from research, convinced Dimitroff and FO that Jones was worth the trade.. We will see who's right in few years, but in my opinion, I believe Jones will flourish into a great receiver, only because he have GREAT supporting cast around him. Jones literally landed into perfect team; Matt Ryan, Michael Turner, Roddy White, and Tony Gonzalez (if he doesn't retire).
