they like Young a lot. they'll get him a couple prime time games.

i'm ok with the draft. biggest issue was getting a QB and we got the best one in the draft. everything else is just gravy.

Yes, that is also why i am not worried. They got players they could work with in complete faith that they can.

Quick someone forward it to Bryce!

I'm not saying it's easy and I don't think really anyone is. I just don't know why anyone is worried about this stuff right now? I could see it being a concern if the season was starting in a week or two, but it's not. The team we have post draft isn't the finished product. These guys are smart. They know where we need help and they've got options to address it still. There will be free agents. There will be schemes utilizing who we've got. They'll make adjustments and adapt and find a way to make it work. Call me naive, but I trust this group of coaches and this FO to find who we need and figure it all out using who we have when the season actually starts. It's not like the team is being run by Matt Rhule anymore. Give it time. Lord knows we've got plenty of it before the season starts.

We'll do whatever we want to do with the players we've got to fit the situation. And we'll score. There's more than one way to play offense. There's more than one way to handle 4th and 1. Just calm your worried minds. It will be ok.

I have no doubt that Evero was asked "of any defensive player left, or any edge left, which would you want?" With Caper's input, I'm sure, Evero said DJ Johnson. I trust these guy more than any other staff we've had, and I trust them a lot more than any collection of draftniks out there.

Us with Bryce is a lot scarier team for the NFCS than ATL with Bijan. I said it before, they should have drafted Jalen Carter. That would have been more worrisome.

It appears it is, but he deleted it. The problem is you can try to delete something on social media but once you say it, it's there forever.

Ok I can't be the only one who instantly thought of the Arby's guy when I saw and heard Patrick.

Agreed we were better off focusing on offense. Honestly we probably should have oe offense with the 3rd. Might have had better value there. Because of the run on pass rushers, they'll be more vet FAs to hit the market. Just load up on vets.

If this is an Evero call, then it's the right one.

Love it. The guy is a brawler. The team absolutely loved him and there's no way he would have lasted till later.

Like I said in another thread, if anything our pick at #1 should have influenced their pick. Young can do a while lot more damage to their defense than Bijan could ever do to ours. The smart move and better pick would have been Jalen Carter.

Not everything that can be mixed together should be

They should be more worried about our first round pick and if they were smart they would have taken Jalen Carter.

Such a good young man. Great answers, especially those last two.

This is what always got my attention with Irsay

where is it?

trading back might just make the most sense. there's going to be a whole lot of solid talent available the rest of the day and anyone we get at 39 won't be much better than who we are capable of getting later on. just not enough separation between the talent. there's just a lot of good players out there to be had, imo.

i feel the same way about all of them. Carr is an ok QB. he's solid. but he'll never be feared. falcons are going to have to play catchup once they realize that ridder won't get them anywhere. the bucs lucked out and had brady, which is the only way in which they have managed to be at all relevant in 20 years. they won't get another brady. i feel that we are going to own the NFCS for at least a couple years.

they win the first round anyways. there's still a lot more to go, but its going to be hard to top what they did in topping off that defense.

true. but he'll be walking into a situation where these guys are also going to be looking for another contract soon. small consolation, but i'm not a believer in ridder except that i don't mind him being the falcons QB for a while. i do feel like, though, if Young takes off like it's believed he will, i won't be worried by any other teams in the NFCS.
