Crazy idea but take the best player available and London was not it ):

    wordz on a screen

    Be he just said he was WOW

Dee

People are always mad no matter the decision. He should be good though. If we get get defense and oline in the second I won’t be mad.

    SoSickRick

    No, it’s the fact they got a slow wr who can’t separate, while also not being able to sack the QB, protect the QB or stop the run. But hey he’ll catch a few passes maybe

    SoSickRick

    @Chadillac0119 so you want the most important positions after Qb to be late round picks…

    SoSickRick

    @Chris Heyward wr is one of the least important positions on the field. It’s a rule of thumb the farther away from the ball you line up the less impact you have. Wow might catch 8 passes a game 😱

    The Most Interesting Beard

    @SoSickRick so the least important position (WR) is also one of the highest paid, huh? 🤔

    Dee

    @SoSickRick the “slow” we got praise from TJ Houshmandzadeh who worked out with him. Who do you think they’ll listen to? A HOF WR or Fans?

Clarence Ware

I can’t believe I’m saying this because I was deadset against it, but great pick!

    jollygreenbru22

    I agree completely. …. I was dumbfounded to tell the truth. I felt defense. J.johnson

    Kooligan

    @jollygreenbru22 Man jj fell all the way to 26th to the damn Jags 😔

    Wanda Meadows

    Terrible pick as usual. The LINE is where NFL games are won. This is why the Falcons have failed for so long. This new organization has been a disaster

    SoSickRick

    It’s an awful pick.

Terry Turner

By picking London it started a WR picking frenzy, lol. I hope they select a DE tomorrow, finger crossed.🤞

    Y2 Me2 Thomas

    Uga dean

    AJ Evans

    Travis Jones or Boye

    Wanda Meadows

    Terrible pick as usual. The LINE is where NFL games are won. This is why the Falcons have failed for so long. This new organization has been a disaster

    SoSickRick

    And somehow going first in picking WR they got the slowest one

    King David

    We still have Edge rushers: David Ojabo, Boye Mafe, Arnold Ebiketie, Logan Hall and Nik Bonitto.

    Bonitto reminds me of Von Miller

Falcons Empire

I watch his 2020 & 2021 films. He’s good with his route running but he does get banged up a lot so no really worth the 8 overall pick! I still hope he has a great career with us Rise Up!!!!

    SoSickRick

    No separation is what’s on tape and the birds wasted a top 10 pick on it

    Falcons Empire

    @SoSickRick that’s not a true statement bro, he can separate go back & watch all of his 2021 films again! Remember his QB was Kedon Slovis 🤮

    Taylor Gaston

    @SoSickRick separation or not he averaged over 10 catches a game. That means something. He catches everything thrown his way. We also need a speedster though

Kyle Smith

I am so happy arty is our HC 😂 loosely says “yeah we’ll see if that sticks, self imposed Nick name…Just gives me material, I actually appreciate that” lmao

iRON MiC TYSON

1ST CONGRATS to Drake, huge moment for him! I won’t lie though, i wanted either Jordan Davis or Jameson Williams super BAD! I’ve gotten used to rarely getting my guys almost never. Can’t do anything bout it, never could. So no reason or real sense in crying or complaining bout it! All I can do, is hope the guys I like the most. Can make thier way to the A 1 day.

Chris Hill

he’ll pair well with Pitts, both will win 50/50 balls. All Marcus has to do now is literally just throw it up jokingly serious. WR was a team need ( Appreciate that Mr. Ridley ) now it’s not. this front office inherited a financial cluster, their here to win lol their jobs are literally on the line. Mr. Fontenot came from a excellent organization that made outstanding picks example almost the entire 2017 draft class. we do generally split games with New Orleans every year helluva game every time. the moves during free agency with what money they did have should show they’ll get the players needed either through draft or other means. have faith and give these guys some time to turn this franchise around. As fans if we’re not contenders by 2024 year’s end then we should be upset realistically speaking.

watch drake’s highlights if that doesn’t get you excited you’re not a fan of football. lol especially paired with Pitts that’s like Gronkowski and Mike Evens

Boom Sensei

I thought we were getting Kyle Hamilton, but then when I sat back and thought about it I was super convinced we grabbing weapons to put fans in them seats also the kid had 88 catches and 7 touchdowns in only 8 games he was on pace for 140 catches and 13 touchdowns those are Justin Jefferson type numbers. We got us a baby Julio minus the elite speed. He might can out jump Julio he did a 540° in his highschool dunk contest. Go watch his film his route running and cuts are elite already falcons stockpiling weapons were not done yet

    SoSickRick

    @Chris Heyward it’s not a slow Pac12 WR who couldn’t separate in the worst power 5 conference.

    Blizzard WolfGangg🐺

    @hilyfe01 bro your not Coach Art Smith or Terry Fontenot 😂😂🤣🤣

    Blizzard WolfGangg🐺

    @SoSickRick bro you act like he wont develop or learn from pitts or CP 😤

    SoSickRick

    @Blizzard WolfGangg🐺 what can he learn from Pitts? How to not score?

    Blizzard WolfGangg🐺

    @SoSickRick obviously you dont watch football if your critizing Our players you sound like a hater to me 😂😂🤣😭

Jason Tye

Excellent pick, need a TE and RB to match. Also, let’s get a handful of trench players.
Go Falcons!!!

Richiep88clone2

If you pick DE or O LINE or any type of defense in 2nd round, then falcons should be fine in this draft, also, WR was the best player then a Defense player when it was on the board

MrServeon404

Guess we’ll be playing 2 hand touch on defense 😢😢😢

Kelvin Woods

Congratulations Terry and Arthur on your 1st 2022 pick. I rooting for you both to build an awesome solid balance locker room. I hope we achieve more than what others think we can.

Jeremy Schneidt

London completely fits the scheme. I love the fit for the team. I was hoping for defense. Congrats to the guys in our offense. I was on board with him as a fit, out of all the wrs I thought he was the best fit.

    That's a Toilet

    😂

Calvin Douglas

He will be going against a.j in practice so he will be ready 💪

Cortez Peters Bible studies.

Great job 👏 #RiseUp

Billy Ellis

this regime is like the last . the falcons draft for bling insted of need . this team will blow this whole draft
The Falcons love the shiny toys that eat up capital. When Pitts and London come up for new contracts it’s going to break the bank .

Dr Jay

Just draft 11 wide receivers this year, is probably what they said in their team meetings

Gabriel Wayne

We’re in great hands! I trust it

travis hyman

We really could use edge rushers, and o-line help
