Love Drake! can wait for the rest of the draft

Joe Seida

I feel like they were being negative but he’s a great player. The best wide receiver in the class in my boards!

    Jeff Bryant

    Yeah, I might have traded back, but I’m not upset by the pick. He is hard to tackle and has great hands. They say he isn’t fast but he has elusiveness and seems to play intelligently. He also seems to fit the non-diva personality we want. We aren’t in the room with these kids when they interview. We don’t see the workouts and see how the scheme affects value.

    Boom Sensei

    @Jeff Bryant I’m glad u noticed that his route running is already elite he can jump 540° degrees go watch the tape He A Star watch

    Matt Hurt

    Upset cause I know the talent Jermaine Johnson is I’m definitely excited for him I see the potential and like he knows it’s time to work

Rique G

Welcome to the A, Young All Pro. I can’t wait to see you in action, RISE UP!!!!

Rony G

Welcome to Atlanta, fanbase isn’t the greatest due to us having so many positional needs, but regardless there are fans that are happy to have you on board! We are in rebuild mode, and you’re part of that future

    Cory Miller

    No one is happy watch the draft party it says it all

    Zues 770

    @Balor96 hell Kyle Pitts last year was “yOu dOn’t PiCK a TiGHt eNd tHaT hIGh”

    Charley Garcia

    The fanbase isn’t “great” because we’ve been burnt year after year. Our best team ever fielded choked on the biggest stage in the biggest fashion.

    Rony G

    @Charley Garcia I couldn’t blame the fan base. No one can! I’m a falcons fan win or lose, and we have to give the new staff an opportunity to rebuild upon what they have been given.

    Balor96

    @Zues 770 we’ve hit on most of our past few first rounders. I’m confident drake london will be a hit too. Draft isn’t over yet either

Stanley Ezen

Still have goosebumps. So happy we have Drizzy!!! #GoFalcons!!!

Clarence Ware

Glad to have a physical receiver. Welcome young man

Isaac Crimes

He wanted to be here and that’s enough for me. Skyscrapers in ATL. Rise up 💪

Kyle Smith

Wanted Drake to be a falcon ever since I saw his film.. guy is definitely going to have a huge impact right away. Welcome to ATL !!

Twisted Torch Tv

Welcome to A Drake. I’m not gone lie his film is good. London can play inside and out, make contested catches on a consistent basis. Physical Wideout that fits Arthur Smith system. Pitts, London, Flash. The Falcons offense maybe scary in a year. Great pick Terry, now let’s focus on defense these next 2 rounds.

    dabig_ sho

    No chance our offense is scary in the next two years. I love our Falcons man, but that light seems a long way down the tunnel at this point. We can’t continue to change systems and attempt to rebuild behind the scenes every 3-4 years and expect to move like water.

    Johan

    He has no route separation

    Twisted Torch Tv

    @dabig_ sho I guess your forgetting the 110 million in cap next year. Second you get a running back in the next couple rounds and a speedster how can’t they be a scary offense? The QB Is going to be picked next year, building a team for him.

    Twisted Torch Tv

    @Johan when you are 6/4 with a catch radius you don’t need separation all the time. Vincent Jackson wasn’t fast but was a 1000 yard wideout for multiple years.

Rise Up Nation Welcome to the Atlanta Falcons no matter what they’re going to say he’s going to be a solid player. As long he’s not injury prone he’ll have a productive rookie season 🙏🏾💯.

    Darrick Harris

    You said here first. Make sure you get credit for the acronym when he starts dominating on the field. Welcome to the ATL Drake.

One-Eyed King

As soon as Julio left, I started watching college ball and He caught my attention right away same with Garret Wilson, so he is my idea especially since this draft is heavily defensive sided.

MatthewKonvict

I’m a usc fan an a falcons fan. Your the guy bro I’m excited as hell for you! I’ll be cheering you your whole career Drake!

    John m

    Wow I’m a usc fan for 50 years ! And falcons fan for 45 ! Red sox in baseball * how about you ? Peace man !

Monolith2001

Now that many the of armchair Falcons GMs (including myself) have to reconcile the time spent scouting everyone but Drake London, let’s welcome this young man to the ATL. I wanted to go D at 8 but Drake got juice and he makes this team better. The Mike Evans comp is a really good one. I’m actually kinda happy about this pick after a night’s sleep.

    Kinfolk Reese

    Yea it took a good rest to understand UT let’s go El drako

Tevin Workman

Good to bring someone in that wants to be here

Adrian Acosta

Welcome to Atlanta big fella. Let’s do it the right way. 🙏

Nit

Welcome to the A! Looking forward to seeing you doing big things for the team.

Kelvin Woods

Welcome to Atlanta. Drake London!!! We are happy to have you! You are already a great player. I’m looking forward to seeing you bring us to a new level. I hope you have a great career here in Atlanta and be the game changer we need to get to the post season and beyond!!!

John m

Love this guy ! I’m a big usc fan and have been watching him ! It’s about time the falcons got a player from so cal !! Still not happy about matty ice ! But 50 years as a Falcons fan I dont feel like burning all my gear and starting over! I’m stuck with these Dirty birds !

Stick Steves

I like the way he handles the questioning, the mental is very important. Good job young man, happy to see you in the A!

zone5breezy

Drizzy Drake! Hope you’re a unicorn future HOFer like Pitts! I wasn’t happy initially about the pick but I believe you were the best player available and a need. I wore my Roddy White jersey and of course we picked the number 1 WR in the draft. Welcome to the Atlanta Falcons!
