Ok cool, then we get Jalon Walker or Mykel Williams. Having an elite WR is cool if you have a decent QB to get him the ball. Hell, the Vikings have THE best WR in the league and still can't do sh*t because McCarthy is trash. And there's no guarantee we don't draft Tet even had we drafted Ladd. Either way, that combo of Ladd + Tet or Walker would have changed the trajectory of this team. But no, we not only trade up for Legette, but chose the wrong WR. Where have I've heard this before?

They really would have been a perfect pairing of WRs as they're both so good, yet complete opposite types of players. But with all our holes on defense, if Ladd showed the same potential had we drafted him, no way they could have justified going WR again, even I might have been against it (okay, we all know that's not true, I'd still haver taken my guy, but I'd at least have admitted it wasn't smart).

They try so hard to be the smartest ones in the room rather than taking the players that are more obviously going to be good. I think that is largely driven by who the owner is. They want to do it "their" way, but their way has been wrong a whole lot more than it has been right.

Run the ball 50 times, averaging 3ish yards per carry and hope like hell to limit their possessions. If they don't play keep-away, Atlanta is going to do to us what Double Trouble used to do to teams. They could put up 40 points and pass the ball less than 10 times.

When the radio keeps playing the same song you kinda know what's coming next

100% agree. If the choice is XL+TMAC or Ladd and No TMAC, I want the option with T-MAC. But my goodness if they still double dipped and got Ladd last year and TMAC this year, that is a duo you could build around for a decade.

Everos gonna be like “you think I’d have told you my plan if there was any way you could stop me? dave Canales was fired 17 minutes ago.”

The 2nd one of course, but as I've said a bunch of times today already, if we drafted Ladd, we wouldn't have taken another WR in the 1st this year. And sure, Ladd is absurdly better than XL, but T-Mac is going to be that much better than Ladd that it will work out better for us in the long run. Now, some bizzaro universe where we drafted both Ladd and T-Mac, good lord that combo would be crazy, I could probably play QB there and throw for 200+ yards a game.

These two are going to hurt like an mf-er for a LONG time. 2. McConkey > Leggette - this was such an obvious choice 4. CJ Stroud > Bryce - SHOULD have been an easy decision as soon as we traded a king's ransom.

I'm more worried about Last Year's draft

We just suck at drafting and have had the worst GMs and scouts in the NFL for a while now Here are some easy decisions we could have made that were even OBVIOUS at the time that would have helped our team get some impact players throughout the last few years. 1. Payton Wilson > Trevin Wallace - like seriously, who tf even knew who Trevin Wallace even was? 2. McConkey > Leggette - this was such an obvious choice 3. Trey Smith > a fuggin long snapper - nothing else to say 4. CJ Stroud > Bryce - SHOULD have been an easy decision as soon as we traded a king's ransom. 5. Zach Frazier > Jonathan Brooks - Like WTF are we drafting an INJURED RB in the 2nd round when we already have Chuba. We've been avoiding drafting a center for how long now for some reason even though we've needed one ever since Kalil retired. These aren't "hindsight is 20-20" either, these are picks the majority of the huddle wanted at the time of our selection that were available. Instead we continue to draft players who just has high RAS scores with no regard to their actual film or stats in college. If you wonder why we continue to field the worst roster in the league, this is why.

Do you really have to ask that question?

Nothing was going to change the outcome of that game. Had this been a competent team then we can talk.

I wanted Watts bad.

Falcons did really well in the draft. Plus they signed Devine Deablo at MLB who we should’ve went after. Nic Scourton looks non existent out there. I’m afraid he’s too small for a DT and too slow/non twitchy for an edge.

So you don't see any possible advantage of being down 2 going into that last drive instead of 5?

The 3rd rounder which is good.. I am okay with that.. but it was more a coverage sack.

I don't know right now. Not super impressed with anyone at the moment but there's a lot of football yet to play.

Stack the effing box, make them.beat us through the air.

Our rookie DE had a sack.

I have nothing bad at all to say about the T-mac pick.. I think we did the right thing there. But looking at our rivals to night and the significant contributions they are getting from their rookie class.. I'm pissed honestly. And it's not just from high end picks.. the fail-cons went aggressive and took 2 first round pass rushers in a deep pass rushing class it's paying off.. Now I can say it probably wasn't in our ability to take another player in the first round.. but in the second round I don't want to hear we couldn't have gotten a better edge.. book isn't written on nic and I don't think he's bad or anything just hasn't made an impact. Xavier Watts falcons second round sealed the game with an int. These young players are transforming their defense. what really pissed me off was in the 4th round with nic Scott penciled in as our starting free safety we passed on Billy Bowman Jr a ball hawk who feel because of poor run support but had like 12 ints in college for a 3rd string RB Trevor Etienne.. in the 4th Bowman starting for the falcons and had a game changing int and a near second one. Even if you had to have ettiene nobody penciled him in in the 4th. And we knew we needed a safety because 4 picks later.. we grab ta-da... Latham Ransom..

My thing with that is you can’t look at it in a vacuum. Things are symbiotic, if I am using that word right. I know that the playbook is a certain way because of Young’s skill set. Just opening things up to different options would change the whole thing for everybody involved. A whole new equation. Otherwise to the original idea, Wallace was a bad pick. I thought so last year when he got on the field and really never improved. And can’t think of them right now but I know there are examples of a coach or GM being great at a position but cannot fill it on his team. But Dan, that Wallace evaluation; wtf happened? But I think the 2025 rookies are looking pretty good if you are grading on a Panther curve. T Mac will make his QB better (I think we see that now). I really hope Zavala isn’t reverting to 2023 form. Because we will be screwed. Kicker couldn’t make it from what, 57? To me, if your defense is strong and is balling and you punt the ball, I won’t complain. This, today, wasn’t that. Canales is still a young coach and still green.

Is Bryce is going to have success at any level as a quarterback in the NFL he has to eliminate his turnovers. This was a very winnable game today without his turnovers.

Not the same scheme as 1997 dude

Still think that? Falcons D and pass rush look legit..... plus you know ROBINSON.
