Yup.  I'm not sold on Pickett or Willis and our defense will eat either of them alive.  The Falcons know we are interested in a QB.  To get their guy, they are going to have to move up.

If you (and others) are not sold on Pickett or Willis, what makes you think the Falcons are? They may not want either guy, especially if they have to give up a lot to get them. If Ryan is traded I'm not so sure they'd move up. They may take the best player available and use this draft to lay a strong  foundation and zoom in on a QB next year.

So they are copying what we should be doing?

Nah, just up to the Jets.  The Giants may be in play for a QB.  It's doubtful that the Texans or Detroit take one that high.  I think the Texans sit tight and take their guy next year in a MUCH better QB class.  Remember they just got a TON of draft capital.  Same with Detroit. They are on the hook with Goff for 3 more seasons.  No need to draft his replacement right now.

Oh yeah I was just saying since I hate the falcons, wasn’t something I thought they’d do

I'd go out and outbid them for Mariota and force their hand.  I know, a complete d*ck move, but hey, we are talking about the Falcons!

I'm worried less about it being a dick move than I am about the fact that I don't think Mariota is that good.

Definitely don't think he's good enough to want to outbid a team that actually wants him.

He doesn't have to an All Pro, just better than Darnold...and yes, just a stopgap until next draft.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
