Maybe a 2nd @ best. Kid hasn't been all that consistent to begin with and is STILL Unproven! Atlanta will not give up their 3rd overall pick unless they had a "Herschel Walker" type Offer, that would be the worst move for 'em to trade it for a QB that's not named Brady or Manning, and the other elite QB's. They will either trade down (which will be tough to do because this is not a great Top 5 Class) or draft McFadden or a Lineman on either side (Long/Dorsey/Ellis/Gholston), most likely on DL because there's more talent there. They need QB/OL big-time but they're no "can't miss" prospects and I would not call Matt Ryan or J.Long a "hit" @ the 3rd pick in the Draft, as they are not worthy of being drafted that high. Go for best player available and go for OL heavily in FA. Atlanta should do this and go for a QB in the 2nd with that high pick they have - Flacco, Woodson, Henne... Options that may still be floating around. Also, RB Class is the DEEPEST and MOST TALENT (*Close Call betw. RB's and DL) and they can go DL and RB in the first two rounds...
