In the 53rd episode of The Bow Tie Chronicles podcast, Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff stops by to explain how the Falcons decide to trade up. First, they determine what player they want. Second, they have the cost of trading up figured out long in advance of the draft. Finally, they determine if their roster is good enough to withstand sending away potential help from the draft picks. We also address the Julio Jones non-story for the millennials and give a shout out to our folks Carl Dukes and Mike Bell over at 92.9 The Game.
