Which brought the Falcons how many Lombardi trophies?  How many playoff berths?  The Julio Jones years have featured a grand total of four winning seasons.  All while they had a CLEAR franchise QB.  Which we do not.

Instead of focusing on Chase, think of our situation this way:  If we had a top 10 QB under center, what would DJ and Robby look like?  Bearing in mind, with TB5 at QB, both of them were in the top 15 last year.

DJ Moore averaged 18 yards per catch last year . . . EIGHTEEN!  Eighty percent of his catches went for first downs!  We raved about how clutch Curtis Samuel was last year, and only 50% of his catches were for first downs.  DJ was the epitome of clutch.  How many times did we see DJ running WIDE ASS OPEN deep last year.  It was damn sickening.  We don't need to draft an superstar WR, we already have one!

WR's don't win games, QB's do.  WR's are not the secret sauce, that's your QB.  The real question your staff have to answer is:  Do we believe our QB is Rodgers, Wilson, Brady, Mahomes, etc.  Those guys can put the team on their shoulders and win games for you.  As good as Tyreek Hill, Davante Adams, Mike Evans and DK Metcalf are they are utterly irrelevant without that franchise guy pulling the trigger.

If a guy your staff believes in is there when you are on the clock, you take the QB.  It's super simple.  There is no such thing as "too many" legit NFL QB's on your roster.

WR's and QB's alone don't win Super Bowls. If so, Megatron and Stafford would have won like 5. You need a defence, and an O-Line.

 

And to be fair, Matt Ryan is consistent enough that he should have had multiple rings right now. Probably would with better coaches.

The locked in podcast goes into this on the past weeks episode.  He looks at the trade backs that the Seahawks have done in the past 10ish drafts.  It aint pretty.

 

He also looks at the 2nd contract rates for first rounders.  Tackles are #1 there by a long shot. 

 

So stay at 8 hope Sewell falls if not Slater.  This isnt hard

Since Slater and Sewell are gone, you trade back and pick up another 2nd.  Hopefully Darisaw is there, if not take BPA and pick your LT in the top of the 2nd

You might get a next year's 1st depending on who is trading up.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Given the draft makeup after the top-10 or so, I feel many teams are going to be hoping for trade downs. Which makes downward movement a bit more tricky.  So they may just go for the best impact they see fit and surprise.  I mean, can use someone at all levels of our defense (ILB, DE, S and Slot). Offense need more OL bodies and could use another WR. No way we can be zeroed in on a particular position.  Makes me damn curious to our board and how they’re weighing immediate vs long term impact.  I still see multiple guys rather than positions in play. S: Thieneman, McNeil-Warren ILB: Rodriguez, Allen DL: Faulk, McDonald WR/TE: Saddiq, Cooper, Boston, Conception OL: Freeling, Proctor, Lomu, Iheanachor Heck, even the EDGE group in our range is interesting like Parker. - Then there’s these guys that are in that 19/51 fringe range that seem to be really good fits-Haulcy, J Rod, Golday, etc.

      2026 Win predictions from DraftKings

      I guess I could see it if we got breaks, but we got the breaks this year and it was still 8 wins.   Also I dont see TB crumbling, they are a competent franchise that hit the injury bug last year I dont know what to think about NO so theres that. Atlanta majorly upgraded at coach so there is always something to having a competent grown up leading a team.

      Glad he's coming back but honestly surprised. I guess the new staff convinced him there was going to be PT for him. It was baffling how Hubert never played him. Its not like we were a top 10 type team looking like a contender and had it all figured out. We should've been giving him opportunities. There was no reason not to. Utter lack of bench development and hard headedly running his starters into the ground because he was afraid to go to his bench was an knowing issue with Hubert that he just wasn't growing out of with more HC experience. If you don't play them how are they supposed to develop? And his starters could do no wrong. Didn't matter what they did, they wouldn't get yanked and their playing time wouldn't decrease. But if a bench guy came in and made one mistake he was probably getting buried for three or four games. That's a recipe for your starters playing sloppy and your bench playing tight and scared. Saw it year after year.
