If ridder hits, which I doubt, then they will be formidable.   They have some beasts on offense.    I think if it’s a coin flip for 2023 between us and the saints for the south 

Ridder's ceiling is a mobile Goff, and I mean that's his ceiling, which he's unlikely to hit. Absolutely unphased by the thought of playing this dude.

Bijan will be a top 5 back in the league but so was CMC when he was here and we sucked ass. You can't win in the NFL off an RB alone.

As much as I hate them the Steelers are murdering this draft

 

also to my dismay Chicago is having a good draft as well

ATL- Much will be made about Bijan but I actually think the rest of the draft is where they excelled 

NOLA- I am not super impressed tbh; they really seem to have lost their touch the last few years

TB- Solid, not a home run but I really like Mauch and YaYa

[Captain Morgan]

one thing in our favor....we have the best coaching staff.  

By far.   It means a lot.

 

[tukafan21]

It's weird to say, but we kinda want to root for Bijan to be a beast.

CMC was a beast and we still couldn't win, so it's possible for the same to happen with the Falcons.

Best case scenario is he's a beast while they keep losing and then get saddled with a monster RB contract that screws up their cap for a few years before they have to move on from him (and I say that's best case scenario because the "real best case scenario" of him being a bust doesn't seem very possible).

The Saints had to go DL hard they lost 3 starters in the offseason.  The only player that will be there from last year is Jordan and he is 35.

[Peppers90 NC]

Just glad Atl didn’t take Carter.

[Shocker]

I would grade our draft as an A.  We got the best player and some guys that could work out with our other picks.  This draft was very weak overall so feels good we got some talent to mold

Bucs took a bunch of guys that are undersized from what I saw. If/when they send White away, they may have a real hole in the defense.

Saints are hoping to kick the can down the road another year. That's a team that is in need of rebuild.

Atlanta had real problems on the defense. They take Robinson instead, and don't invest very much in the defense. Maybe they will just outrun everyone.

[chbright]

Still pissed at atl with Zach Harrison..that's who I wanted to move in on with a trade up in the 3rs cause when someone unlocks his athletic ability, he will be a huge problem on the order of Gregg Hardy. 

[SmokinwithWilly]

Atlanta looks to be setting up to drop a rookie QB into a very good offense and succeed.

I'm hoping ATL has the best mediocre season this year. Do not want them getting in position to get or potentially move up for Caleb Williams or Drake Maye.
