bye Freddie

If Horn stays healthy then Evero and the defense should be able to keep us in majority of the games this year. It'll all depend on how much Bryce and the offense improves. The main goal this year for us is to be playing competitive and meaningful football after thanksgiving.

I see him taking up the slot role after thielen leaves.

Shedeur Sanders is just a fancier version of Teddy Bridgewater.

Right now Imma have to give it an A grade just solely because this is the 1st year in a long time that we had a plan going into the draft and we actually executed said plan and not panicked and made a dumb trade or a super bad pick. The goal was to get Bryce some weapons and get some depth on defense and I say we did just that. We can argue if they were the right picks later once, we see them play but at face value we did exactly what we set out to do and that alone is a massive improvement from years past under Rhule and Fitterer.

I wouldn't say it's an issue with talent because I personally think Corbett is gonna do great at center but having him has our only center on the roster after coming off 2 knee injuries in back-to-back years and being on the last year of his deal is worrisome. We are another Corbett injury away from starting Cade Mayes again. Hopefully they let Brady Christensen get some practice at center too even though I think his future is still the eventual Taylor Moton replacement on the right side.

I want Troy Franklin, Van Pran, or Austin Booker at 101. Maybe target a Theo Johnson at TE in the 5th. My gut tells me they draft Austin Booker at 101 and take Brenden Rice in the 5th.

This guy is a pure physical specimen who plays fast and angry. He needs to get better at the mental part of the game and improve his ability to shed blocks and read plays, but he has all the tools to be an awesome LB for us. If we could somehow get Luke to take a break from his hunting and fishing trips and have him mentor this kid that would be perfect.

It's 2024 an ACL injury isn't a career ender anymore.

The falcons are having a reach filled draft.

One comp I haven't seen for Legette yet is a less refined route runner but faster version of Davante Adams. The physicality in which they both play with is just so similar, and I bet that's what Dan and Dave saw on tape. Both guys while being only 6'1" play like they're 6'5" and are physical all over the field. Obviously, Legette has a lot of work to do on his route running to get to that level, but Dave has had a great track record with coaching WR's so I'm sure we'll get the best version of Legette here.

There's gonna be a good player left at 33. I don't think even think Fitterer could screw this up.

As a huge Gardner Minshew fan I'd love that for him. He might finally get a shot to lock down a starting QB job.

CALL THE RAIDERS FOR MICHAEL MAYER RIGHT NOW!.

With no defensive player worth taking at 8 and probably no trade down offer I can respect that they stuck to their guns and took the guy the must believe in. Kirk while being paid very highly will be a 36 year old QB coming off an Achilles tear so there's no guarantee he will hold up. Also, it's not like Kirk is just some elite QB he in my view is a very productive QB who has an elite agent who keeps getting him these mega deals. Kirk is also awful in primetime and hasn't won a playoff game since 2020.

The Falcons are gonna lose picks when the NFL does the investigation on the whole Kirk Cousins tampering deal so I can see why they went ahead and took a QB now. Take the guy you like now because you'll be too good with Kirk to be picking that high and you'll lack the capital go trade up.

I liked Penix but holy reach.

My bad haven't paid much attention to the 1st round order this year since we don't gotta pick.

How it feels watching the 31 other teams make at least 1 pick tonight.

I'll never forgive Kelvin Benjamin for not chasing down that Chargers defender and forcing Cam to have to make that awkward tackle and causing Cam to hurt his shoulder.

Dude's a great player. The more I watch and read about him the more I like him and want him on the team. I feel like he'll be a great fit with the DAWG culture Morgan wants to build. I imagine Evero is having wet dreams about having Horn and hopefully if we can convince him to come back Stephon Gilmore playing on the outside with Sainristil playing the slot and moving around the secondary.

I like Trey Benson at 65 or 101 but no way would I spend one of the 2 2nds on him with all the needs we have.

I just wanna feel like a game is still winnable after the opposing team put's up 17 points.

If the board falls like that then I'm either trading down with a team who wants to come up and get Bo Nix or I'm doing back flips because Jackson Powers-Johnson is there and I'm running the card up as soon as the draft opens. I like Xavier Legette but I'm confident he'll be there at 39 also.

Bryce will be our opening week starter for at least the next 2 years. The 2025 QB draft class looks really weak so the earliest we'd draft a new QB would be 2026. You could maybe bring in a vet to compete with Bryce next off-season if he shows absolutely no improvement this year but giving up on Bryce this soon is just being irrational.
