I’m fine with drafting Pitts but someone on the radio the other day was trying to compare the possibility of Pitts and Hurst to Jonnu Smith and Anthony Firsker and it made me lol
Read an athletic article with quotes from anonymous scouts and coaches.. Kind of has me coming around on Pitts. Is Kyle Pitts the biggest no-brainer in the draft? QB Coach No. 1: Pitts is a unicorn. It’s rare to get a guy that freaky that size that didn’t flip to defensive end. It’s easier to rush the quarterback than play tight end. He’s (Raiders tight end) Darren Waller but a little more natural. He’s got great hand-eye coordination; great length. He didn’t have a drop last year. Only four of his catches didn’t go for a touchdown or first down. What I really love is he didn’t have to play last year and he still would be a top-10 pick, and that they’re down 20 vs Bama, and he’s playing his ass off, trying to get them back into it, and he does. That stuff spoke a lot. QB Coach No. 2: Aw, man, he is special. He has good character; he’s a tough kid. Everything he did at pro day, it was like, ‘Good God!’ That guy changes the game for your offense with how people have to play you. …This guy is more athletic and faster than (Travis) Kelce. This guy comes into the league and he’s gonna be way better than anybody else. WR Coach No. 3: He’s ridiculous, man. Holy crap. To be that big and that fast and that skilled — wow.
Ugh, Would suck to see Julio in another jersey, but we've screwed ourselves with the salary cap and Julio isn't as durable as he once was.
I would be crushed to see Julio in another uniform I would only understand if we got a 1 and another pick. Maybe a 1 and a 4
Florio thinks the Falcons will cut Julio I'd they can't trade him. Says he's become a headache off the field since his contact extension. "I remember hearing that Julio Jones was kind of changing because he was spending time with a lot of really, really rich people. And if you're a football player, there's one way to get really, really rich, and that's to maximize your football earnings - period," Florio said Monday on PFT Live. "And that's why he drew the line in the sand and got the $22 million contract. And I think he's been kind of a headache behind the scenes for the Falcons the past few years. "And I'm saying all this because No. 1, I'm not sure I've ever said if before - but I've known it for three years. No. 2, I'm gonna throw a dart here. I'm not gonna quite close my eyes. But I am gonna throw a dart. It may hit the board, it may not hit the board. Here's my prediction: if they don't trade him, they're gonna cut him June 2. That's my prediction."
Julio has been hanging out with a lot of rich people (I saw him with Migos that one time) and he found out that the best way to get paid what you’re worth is to demand it. He’s trash and it’s an open secret
I mean how lazy of a hot take is that? Like seriously we’re just going to cut Julio Jones? Come on man
Two weeks ago Florio wrote a disgusting article implying that Deshaun Watson’s accusers are liars because they won’t publish their names by way of publishing the names of the women swearing they weren’t sexually assaulted by Deshaun
Ok so stay with me. We get the insurance money on Ryan and are a lock for #1 overall next draft when we tank.
at this point it feels like a done deal unless someone comes in with a good trade offer for Fields I have talked myself into it, I'd rather lock up the QB of the future if Fields is there, but Smith being able to scheme with Pitts & the rest of our offense is exciting and we just YOLO on defense
Basically they didn't restructure Julio's contract because they are looking to move on from him. That's what I got out of it.
I think the most likely explanation is that they didn't restructure Julio because Julio didn't want to.
Draft day boys. Most optimistic I've been about a draft in years. Personally, I think it's Pitts, trade back or bust. I suppose Sewell is a need as well but I'd rather trade back. I love some of the QBs, but I'd rather address the rest of the roster first.
Pitts, Sewell, or trade back. I don’t like the idea of drafting a QB when we can’t move on from Matty Ice for two years. We likely will draft a QB at some point over the weekend. I’m ok with Mills, but hear the staff likes Trask a lot.
