Falcons - The Magicla Turnaround

Have you seen the QB play?

 

The guy who has more yards over his first 2 seasons than any other Falcon ever?

 

Glad plan A worked out in signing Kirk. Now we need to grab WRs and build the defense

 

I want to know why we are giving this Woerner guy a $4 mil a year deal to block

 

Agreed. Twitter feed just says he is the best blocking TE. Still a lot of money for TE3

 

We'll still take a QB in this draft, right?. I don't think anyone believes Ridder can be developed into an NFL QB even learning for two more years behind Cousins.

 

If we do it would be in the later rounds probably.

 

We will be kicking the future QB can down the road

 

I love the continued commitment to being stuck in football purgatory.

pick 14 here we come next year.

 

At least I don’t have to see Bo Nix and JJ McCarthy being mocked to us at 8

 

I'd say there's a real-deal chance we're at least getting blown out at home this year by Philly or Dallas in the Wild Card round, so that's pick 19 at the earliest

 

Desperately needed a WR but that seems like… a lot?

 

I still would like to draft a WR. Feels expensive but we love Bears.

 

Still need a slot, but he feels like a good number 2? Overpaying for it for sure

 

Need this king to be right again

 

Danielle Hunter would be excellent

 

The price on Mooney is a bit high but I think the front office is in a position where they need to pay a little more to guarantee getting an experienced player. Mooney outperformed our #2 WR last year and we might be in a better position this year than the Bears were last year so I'm sure he will put up better numbers.

 

Might?

 

I don't want to speak in absolutes

 

It’s free agency, you always overpay

 

Like the Cousins bridge deal but still not Super Bowl contenders, but still curious if we can get Fields for a 4th/5th rounder. Without a late round QB this year, seems we're likely picking a QB in the 20's next year.

 

Seems like the falcons are of course going to get played by the jaguars/Ridley. From the start I didn’t totally understand the extension piece and what incentive the jaguars could possibly have of extending him during the season

 

Still got a 3 for a guy that was never going to play for the franchise again. Wouldn’t call it getting played

 

It sucks we won't be getting a 2, but if the Jags really wanted to keep him they would pay up.

 

Call me a homer, but I’d love to take McConkey in the 2nd to fill our slot need.

 

Not a homer and agree

 

Turner at 8 and Ladd at 43 would be p cool imo.

 

Pitts runs so much out of the slot he's is pretty much a de facto one, so there's probably a little flexibility on receiver type than usual. But definitely have to take one. That link above about the Rams being the most 3-wide team in the NFL and the Falcons being the least last year was the same in 2022 as well. Minnesota was top 10 in Cousin's last healthy year too. Pass rush at 8 and McConkey or Coleman in the 2nd would be

 

McConkey would be sweet.

 

Just hope Ladd’s back issue isn’t a lingering issue

 

Some are waiting on Mack to get cut right

 

I love Ladd and he's a legit badass but I'm concerned how he'll hold up in the NFL health-wise.

 

So what does Ridley signing with the Titans leaves us pick wise?

 

Good for him and yes good that we got a 3rd for that bizarre situation

 

I hope the Jags waiting cost them Ridley. Fuck them

 

We get #79 from Jax

 

I really wanted a 2 but as long as we got something I’ll take it.

I hate Calvin Ridley

 

Good introductory press conference for Kirk

he’s a likable dude

 

Go defense early and use the 2 3rds on skill players. We can probably get a really good WR still and a backup QB
