Lot of rumors on who we'll be targeting in FA. Will be interesting to see who we actually sign. Can't wait for next week.

BY & AT interview with Cam Jordan

I think for Pitts people use him as an example without truly looking into it. Sure he only had 1 TD his rookie year but he also had 1k yards his rookie year (2021). I would say that’s a good start. Then 2022 happened and he tore his MCL and PCL. He just hasn’t been the same guy following that injury. Lost a lot of explosiveness and just hasn’t been the same guy. I just don’t think we can fault the Falcons for an unexpected freak injury. No one can predict these kind of injuries. Not trying to fight for Pitts or use this as a reason to draft warren. Ultimately it is a wasted pick for ATL regardless. Just adding a little context.

Very curious to see how we attack free agency. They don't seem like they are gearing up to attack FA like they did last year as far as spending the kind of money they did. I think if they were they wouldn't be open to letting moton's contract ride out. They would be doing some restructures, extensions to gather as much money as possible. I think they want to continue to get young. Obviously, this is all speculation. I think they will attack the DL, just not exactly how they did OL last year. Feel free to correct me in my thinking here, always love the insight/thoughts of others.

I don't see it as a likely pick unless it is in a trade-back scenario honestly. But as always, i could be wrong here. Im just not considering him as a pick. Especially with how DM is talking, which could be all smoke screens/GM talk.

Panthers HC Dave Canales lists team’s top 3 needs for 2025 offseason Not sure if he was putting the needs in order but S was mentioned second when asked about top 3 needs

Over the sun pick: Carter Over the moon pick: Graham Likely pick: Walker Wouldn't hate it pick: Nolen, Pearce, Green Wouldn't be a fan of but would talk myself into pick: Mykel, T-MAC, Starks

Yeah im leaning more towards green and pearce over walker as well (obviously don't see carter falling to us). But damn i can definitely see us drafting walker or mykel. I can see us falling in love with one of those georgia boys for sure. Was interesting to see Canales talking about Warren though and the many ways he could see him being utilized. I don't see us drafting him other than in an unlikely trade-back scenario, but it was interesting to see/hear his answer when asked about warren.

Honestly wasn’t expecting that much love for walker. Wouldn’t be against it though.

Morgan is first up, speaking on Tuesday, February 25 at 1.15 p.m. ET. Canales is set for Tuesday, February 25 at 2.15 p.m. ET. https://catcrave.com/when-dan-morgan-dave-canales-will-speak-2025-nfl-scouting-combine

It depends on how GMs above us in the draft feel about his arm length. Some GMs will die on that hill.

it has been mentioned a lot, this draft isn't top heavy but day 2-day 3 has a lot of talent. Its a great draft depth wise (at certain positions). Plenty of late round RB, DL, TE talent.

Brashard Smith RB SMU

Well, for sure I don't see it happening. Although the selling point is actually playing in year 1, 2 vs. developing for some years and maybe seeing the field as a QB in year 3-4 if the stars align. I'm just saying I see a more seamless transition as far as his skillset. Regardless I don't want us to take this kind of a project.

The only position change project that would make sense to me right now is Jalen Milroe at RB. Regardless IMO this is a prove it draft for Morgan and I don't think he can afford to make these kind of project selections. Definitely a prove it year for Evero, I believe he is on last year of his contract and needs to prove it was a talent issue and not a talent + scheme issue.

I am starting to see a lot of love for Tyler Shough as QB3

Yeah I expect the same, as far as likely packaging one or more of those day 3 picks to move up. I still worry about our drafting day 2 on. They like to get "cute" and gamble a lot. Issue is we aren't normally on the green side of those gambles.

My only problem with selecting TMAC is that we have to trust our staff to find those defensive gems late round... But don't get me wrong I wouldn't hate TMAC in process blue. Maybe after free agency I'll feel even better about it. I mean regardless of who we take at 8 we HAVE to hit on late round picks. Idk this is almost like a "prove it" draft for the staff.

EA Sports, its in the game

Agreed. I mean as much as i would like to have a TMAC, G. Wilson, etc. i know that’s not the best route to building this roster, seeing as we don’t normally hit on those late round picks. Not to say that one 1st round defensive player will turn the entire defense around, but it sure would help to it to go defense in first couple rounds (hopefully first 3 rounds) + the likely money spent in free agency.

Bryce mentioned Eagles defense as well in one of his interviews during radio row... He mentioned Eagles having a lot of simple looks, not really much exotic looks as far as bringing pressure. They just have a LOT of talent on the defensive side, not to say Fangio doesn't deserve any credit. Superbowl MVP should've been given to Howie (joke), what a job he has done there in philly.
