It was over before it started. Imagine being internet nerds and knowing this years before the Falcons front office.
At least we didn’t do something dumb like draft Justin Schaefer with Jamaree Salyer still on the board
Well yeah, but I thought he played well with Pitts out. I also didn't realize he's older Jonnu Smith.
Keeping 4 TEs and a FB seems dumb Man that WR room is mid af And need Ebitke or Malone to be legitimately good this year or I’m going to want to move on from the GM. Pitts needs to be a facsimile of Kelce or it was a catastrophically bad pick considering who went around him
Even if he has a great season it only goes from a horrible pick to a bad one. That draft was special and they pissed down their leg, again
It was gross at the time and outright egregious in retrospect. Immediately after Pitts, the next 8 off the board were Ja'Marr Chase Waddle Penei Sewell Jaycee Horn Surtain DeVonta smith Justin fields Micah parsons
pick 1 was Trevor, who obviously looks good. pick 2-3 were absolute back alley coat hanger abortions. Pick 4 was Pitts Pick 5 to like pick 13 in that draft if you told me 3-4 of those dudes legitimately end up in the hall of fame I wouldn’t argue with you Then it’s a pile of trash until you get to Darriaaw I can’t remember what falcons Twitter fan account said it but being a falcons fan is like riding a roller coaster with a terrible safety record. It could be fun? But it’s more likely something gruesome and painful happens
Probably asking too much, but given there's some small amount of optimism, can we not bitch and moan in this thread when the Falcons win a few games after dropping a few? Don't think we can reasonably expect this team to immediately tank if they struggle at times.
I'm one of the biggest #teamtank folks here but I'll sign up for this. I wont go for the tank until/unless they're mathematically eliminated
Depends. Are we talking when the other teams out tank the falcons or when the falcons get lucky due to some fluke injury miracles?
With the state of the nfc south and our overall easy schedule along with our inability to tank, we are probably looking at 7-8 wins this year which is going to be a lot of bitching.
It'll just be annoying when we're something like 2-3 and then get a win to go 3-3 and most of this thread is "yep, Blank and Dmitroff still screwing us with this roster, why are we winning again?"
It's 10am over here and we have some school related function to attend, maybe it's a good thing I'm not watching. Looks like we immediately shit our pants.
This team probably gonna look a lot like the giants with Saquon where Bijan is a stud and virtually everything else is inconsistent at best, if not outright bad
Giving up Ridley for a bag of bolts is looking like a good move. Glad we avoided the short term PR hit.
If we end up with a second rounder for Ridley I think I am okay with it Bigger issue is drafting London and Pitts, I am not sure how we defend either of those at this point.
