Jason Tye

DT or Edge with the first two picks. We need a whole draftful of defense alone, 5 picks in trenches both sides of the ball at least.

    6ShotPrince _

    An all defense draft is what im hoping for

    Kickkone_kreep

    @6ShotPrince _ not gonna happen we need receivers 💀

AJ Evans

Jermaine Johnson. As long as there is a lineman picked I would be happy. No reason to draft WR high when you can’t get the ball out or the line can’t block

Sean - The RC Mechanic

After thinking for a while, I feel like the best option in the draft is to wait until 2023 to get our future QB OR draft one in the later rounds. It may be a risk. I think it’s a huge risk. Hopefully it pays off.

    The Nation

    @Slimdulla87 don’t have to tank* this current roster even with the draft is still aways from a playoff caliber team

    Seⱥn

    I agree I think mariota is good enough for Atleast this year and you never know he could suprise us and play super well. I think we go kyle Hamilton, Garett Wilson, an edge rusher, or trade back

    Slimdulla87

    @The Nation  it doesn’t need to be playoff caliber. If the Falcon’s win just 4 games, they will not be in a position to get a QB for next year (without) giving up a lot of draft picks just to move up a few spots. That’s why it makes the most sense to get a QB now instead of waiting until 2023. To many their percentage is super low compared to this year

    The Nation

    @Slimdulla87 bro you do realize that we picked 8th last year and drafted Pitts? We passed up on Fields, Mac Jones… you can grab a QB just about anywhere you don’t need the number #1 pick to get a franchise QB anymore

    Slimdulla87

    @The Nation  no the Falcon’s picked 4th in 2021 and got Pitts. Also, the previous year was during the Dan Quinn er. This is a new GM and HC, and they already have a losing record. they are not about to just grab any QB to take over. The most valuable position in the NFL is the QB

Kameron Christy

Top 5 in order. Kayvon Thibodeux, Jermaine Johnson, Jordan Davis, Sauce Gardner and Jamison Williams.

Sean - The RC Mechanic

Hey Atlanta Falcons, what are your thoughts on this mock draft

1:8 – Jordan Davis DT Georgia
2:43 – Nik Bonitto DE/EDGE Oklahoma
2:58 (from TEN) – Kingsley Enagbere
DE/EDGE South Carolina
3:74 (from IND) – Brian Asamoah LB Oklahoma
3:82 – Jamaree Slayer OT Georgia
4:114 – Isaiah Spiller RB Texas A&M
5:151 – Smoke Monday S Auburn
6:190 – Joshua Ezeudu G North Carolina
6:213 – ZaQuandre White RB South Carolina

    Dirty Cosby

    Pretty good. Why two edge?? Nik is enough to build around next free agency. Spiller will not be there in the fourth. I’m praying for cooks, less miles and can be the stiff arm guy we want. I haven’t seen a draft with 2 RBs. Prob get the last one after the draft unsigned.

    Sean - The RC Mechanic

    @Dirty Cosby we desperately need pass rushers. We get as many as we can

    Dirty Cosby

    But u have to think at least 1 will be a bust/wasted pick we could have used somewhere else like safety or how about an o line for that new Qb so he has a longer career then an rg3

Pancho Villa

Jordan Davis at 8. Why not go from having your first ever draft pick being a 6’6 220lbs TE who runs a sub 4.5 40 to drafting a 6’6 340lbs DT who runs a sub 4.8 40? Stack the deck with athletic anomalies!

    Pancho Villa

    Also, when you’re playing in the same division as Tom Brady, an impact DT pushing the middle is better than a solid pass rusher.

Lil JJ

I’m drafting sauce Gardner get a qb next year in Bryce young or cj stroud if can’t get sauce get stingley or draft Jameson Williamson or
Garret Wilson

Anthony White

Great analysis from Shok and Arch! Lets see how the NFL Draft goes on Thursday for the Falcons!

Nick bagnulo

it starts and ends in the trenches
i like the schemes

Isaiah Mills

Jordan Davis or Thibodeaux. Wait till next year for a QB that being CJ Stroud

Recklezz Jo

I don’t mind a pass rusher at #8. But memories of Takk and Beasley haunt me 😒

Nick bagnulo

Exciting
Who will b our next qb
I know mariota
Will he start all 17
Draft a qb

JUST WANT OUR NEXT QB TO WIN
AND LAST AS LONG AS RYAN DID
If the Falcons taught us ANYTHING over the last 4 or 5 years it should be…. what’s on paper is TOTALLY different than the product on the field. THEY said we was good on paper but turned out to be hot garbage. Now yall saying on “PAPER” we are trash. How about we judge the product on the field. #riseup #dirtybird … calm down and send goid energy to our Falcon

THE DRAMA IS KILLING ME
who we are drafting
Game changer on offense
Game wrecker on defense
GET A FINISHER ON EACH SIDE OF THE BALL
The more inserting draft in falcons history
8TH PICK COULD BE a game changer

Just want to remind everyone in 2015 coach Quinn went 8-8 his 1st year as a head coach.

Then in 2016 .. 5 rookies including 3rd round Hooper, 5th round Campbell, and undrafted Brian Poole started all the way to the super bowl.

We have 5 picks in the 1st 3 rounds alone this year.. 9 total.

FALCONS PICKS
ROUND 1 (PICK 8
ROUND 2 (PICK 43)
ROUND 2 (PICK 58)
ROUND 3 (PICK 74)
ROUND 3 (PICK 82)
ROUND 4 (PICK 113)
ROUND 5 (PICK 151)
ROUND 6 (PICK 189)
ROUND 6 (PICK 212)

Less pressure on our qb

More pressure on the opposing qb

MORE COVERAGE SACKS?
on paper our secondary looking 🔥

6ShotPrince _

Drafting Tyreke Smith in the 2nd or 3rd round would for sure be a great pick up especially since we need Dline so bad

Seth Thomas

Ask Julio to come back to play TE for 2 seasons

JT121

Hope they don’t take any QBs, this class is bad.

Any player u take in the draft is a risk
No player is a sure thing

Malik willis
Accuracy issues
Same thing said about allen

Ohio state and bama qbs struggle in the nfl
Ex dwayne haskins and tua
How do u know the 2023 qb class will be better

How do u know its a bad qb class

Kevonte Jones

Can you guys do these more often and make them twice as long? Lol

akinaPainLP

We need to build the oline and this defense needs dawgs no doubt we can always trade up for our qb of the future in the 2023 draft
