Jackson will be on Ridley and Horn on Pitts.

We are going to put our top corner on a TE?  Id wager we see Horn absolutely erase Ridley.  Jackson/Bouye handle the Gage/Sharpe.  

That leaves Pitts to take on?  uh-huh. Mr Sweet Chinn Music himself.

I think we've got plenty of answers for Matt Ryan's gang of skid marks.

Oh and they have a new center.  Matty Lice loves to fumble snaps and from shotgun.  Interesting note to watch.

Some details courtesy of Albert Breer...

- The Falcons relationship with Jones had been "strained" for years due to contract disputes

- The Ravens had been interested a while back, but dropped out after drafting a receiver

- Atlanta attempted to trade him during the draft, but nobody wanted to pay the price they were asking

- Just as many people thought, Jones didn't know he was on the air when he was talking to Shannon Sharpe

- A number of teams were interested as the calendar approached June, but interest fizzled in most places

- Despite prior claims, nobody ever actually offered a first round pick

- Also despite some speculation, the Patriots were never interested

- The Titans original offer was a conditional third that could be upgraded to a second, but they ultimately moved up as well as agreeing to take on Jones' pay for this season

When the falcons traded up for Jones, I thought they waay overpaid. 100% false, Jones ended up being one of the best WR in NFL history. He had abnormal size and skills for WR, moved like a fast twitchy 5'9 slot but was a real 6'3 230 LBs....He also overcame foot issues that I thought were going end his career in the middle. Hamstring last year and hes on the end of a elite career, still a threat tho.

He is not a top 10 all time WR. I think that is what the falcons thought they were getting. 

Smitty has more yards and TDs and we dont even know if he is going to the HoF.

Y’all heard it first from me. Said it all along, Julio to Tenn. 

The whole world was saying Julio to Tennessee, but you are so wise! You’re like a miniature Buddha, covered in hair!

A second is good value for a player of his share coming off injuries.

Exactly. The Falcons will receive a 2022 second-round pick and 2023 fourth-rounder. The Titans reportedly will also get a 2023 sixth-round pick in the trade.

Julio Jones is absolutely in the conversation for Top-10 All-Time WR.

That is laughable.  20th all time in yards, tied for 88th all time in receiving TDs. 

He is far from top 10 all time.

18th all time in yards AND HE’S STILL PLAYING AND ELITE.

You can have Henry Ellard, Chris Carter, James Lofton, Tim Brown, Isaac Bruce, etc.  All great careers.  I’ll take Julio Jones.  And again, those guys played a long time...Julio will too.

Julio is already breaking down and he is 32, its not like he has been the poster boy for staying healthy. He has 2-3 years of good production left, not really enough to jump into top 10 all time.

Oh you are taking out the TE's to make him look better?

Are you an undercover Falcons fan?

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking
