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 but our gronk and Mike are just getting started.

    @Robert Smith bro he was literally the only target on the field at some points throughout the season and still managed a 1000 yard ROOKIE SEASON while being injured for part of it. This will be my final reply to you. You are either trolling or didn’t watch a single game last season. Good day sir!

    Robert Smith

    @Josh you’d think “literally the only target” would have more than 1 TD. 😉

    Adam Mosely

    @Robert Smith 1,026 yds 15.1 avg on 68 receptions. Don’t know about you but those are great numbers for a rookie. Stop downplaying his stats

    Robert Smith

    @Adam Mosely soft coverage in the middle of the field. Otherwise he’d be scoring.

    Adam Mosely

    @Robert Smith this is going to be my last reply to you. You’re obviously trolling or didn’t watch a single game at all. He moved the ball. A key player on third down while being double teamed most of the time as a rookie but still managed to reach 1000yds as a rookie. He did more than enough and I look forward to seeing him play this season when some of the pressure is being taken off of him.

Boom Sensei

Dude is Legit Y’all fr We finally got a receiver that’s built for the Game don’t worry about the injuries he’s only 20 he’s still growing watch

    Soldier

    @travis morris Obviously there’s something he does better than those guys…

    Black Excellence

    Same thing qpe thought with julio

    travis morris

    @Soldier I guess I mean I watched alot of his usc highlight things they have on YouTube… he’s not fast he doesn’t get separation.. being a falcon fan ill give him a chance but I think it was a wasted pick considering ridley is gone for the year garret Wilson would have been a way better pick in my opinion

    Timothy Davison

    Wait! Only who knows if Ridley even wants to come back! The other thing is he said he wanted to go else where ‘ s ! He may not want to be an AtL WR!

    Timothy Davison

    The Dirty Birds are movingbforward with or without Ridley! There will be new pieces, and we will see our vets Grady and others go on in another uniform . I hate it but Grady go get your bag and may you please get your Super Biwl ring! You deserve it! Facts

Joshua Stafford

You would never see ATL falcons draft a home grown player from Georgia. And ATL miss out on many.

    dcraneis2bad

    @T Nel but he’s from Atlanta..just like Grady and Davis all homegrown dsgb…I think the bulldog blinders are off now and we might see another move made seeing as how they just brought Zo home to play off the edge

    Joshua Stafford

    @Geniux Guy I’m talking about from Georgia and played for Georgia. Some of those guys Is a beast

    Greatone910

    @Joshua Stafford say Georgia then …not homegrown

    Matt Hurt

    Yup never draft a dominant defensive player like Jermaine Johnson,, I totally get the red zone help and it does fill a hole but could’ve had parsons last season and Jermaine this year and now we’d have a dominant defense THEN build the offense with weapins

    Walt

    Hakim Dent was the last one.

Stone Decatur

50/50 jump balls on each side of the field

kaltwies

Is td still making picks for the falcons?

MUTshane

You know it’s a questionable pick when they have to constantly explain why they picked him

    Big Debo

    Exactly. They came out with this super quick because they were reading that backlash on twitter. Terrible pick

    Matt Hurt

    Facts super reach

    William Rawls

    @Big Debo yea I’m sure you said the same thing about AJ Terrell huh? Just be quiet and watch. Plenty of solid D talent left

    Cailin Battey

    @William Rawls thank you ! 2nd round & 3rd rounds today is ours to win

John Pope

Same ole falcons…ignore the problems on defense and draft a wr

Jorge Pavon

Falcons can’t go wrong with any pick have you looked at the roster any player is an upgrade

    StxrmZ

    Fr and I see ppl already complaining about this pick, This fan base is just never satisfied

B Ingram

Just throw in the air, huh? Who’s going to throw it though?

Dee

Houshmandzadeh praised London. That should speak for itself.

Alex Marshall

Mr. Blank is not going to live forever so if I’m him and I don’t like what I see by the 4th pick. I’d fire the new GM in the middle of the draft legendary style.

Dakari Dawkins

Relax y’all we got 4 picks today

Calvin Douglas

Just look at it like this he will be going against a.j in practice so he will be ready

LogBitzWasTaken

Y’all be stressing that garret Wilson wasn’t chosen, Garret Wilson was more of a speedy wr, drake London on the other hand, he can catch, and he’s physical a lot like Julio a phew years back. Excited to watch him play this season

    BonerPants

    I wanted Christ Olave

Spencer Roe

I love that author Smith doesn’t even tell anyone what he ran for his 40 like it’s some top secret thing..idk why he even walks up to the podium to answer questions when he never does.

Michael Human

You guys can try and explain why you took a WR a 8 but when our defense cannot stop anybody London is not going to make a difference. Yes he’s a talent but to let 4 defensive players from the #1 defense in college football go by the wayside is just plain stupid. Jordan Davis or Wyatt on the front line to help Grady and make a huge impact was much more important than London at 8. Hell you have George Pickens or John Metchie you could have taken in the 2nd round. I’ll bet Pickens ends up being a better reciever. If the Falcons don’t try to take Nakobe Dean at 43 which I’m sure they’ll ignore him to and go after Willis who could not even make it in the SEC as a QB. He had to go to a program that plays fluff teams to even play. When you have some of the best talent on defense about 45 mins away from your headquarters and you don’t take advantage of it, that is just plainly not knowing what you are doing. Arthur Smith just proved yet again he has no business as a head coach. This will be another wasted year for the Falcons. I’ve been a fan since 1966 and this franchise has been a disappointment in all but 4 out of 56 years totally unexceptable.

EdgyBrah

Dude broke like 4 tackles 😳

romon beard

Can’t forget 6’5” Auden Tate who can win the 50/50 balls too.. we got the biggest set of pass catchers in the NFL who can all win in traffic..

    Stanley Ezen

    Also Hodge and Byrd. I think we will be better than many think

Stanley Ezen

Glad we got him

falconfan1990

We need a good vet to teach him how to run routes
