The Falcons had an awful pass rush.  They drafted Jaylon Walker and James Pearce Jr.  We have an awful pass rush, the worst defense in NFL history,  and the slowest offense in the NFL by a large margin and we take... TMac.  Make it make sense.  I am in no way for trading a first round pick but the Falcons knew who they really were and what they needed and addressed it while also getting great value on the draft board.  I hated our draft last year and I hate the way this one has started off.  If this draft doesn't make an immediate impact and show flashes of some potential true core players then Dan Morgan needs to be fired immediately after this upcoming season.  In my opinion he has no idea how to evaluate talent or build a team for the modern NFL.  Everything about the players he likes and the roles he tries to put them in are dated and scream early 2000s.

It took me a minute to get over the shock of the pick, but I agree. 

before T-Mac, we had 4 WR on the roster. AT is going to hang it up at some point, and David Moore, though he had some success last year, I'm not sure is a quality NFL player. 

What I like is, I've never seen us screen a pick the way we did. We always telegraph our picks. I also think this is a sign that David Tepper is getting out of the way.

As others have said, when your roster is in the shape ours is, you can't miss. T-Mac seems like the type of player that has a relatively high floor. The ceiling is obviously a Michael Thomas/Mike Evans type of player, which have terrorized us for years. 

I do think the bulk of our draft will be spent on defense from this point on. That said, with only 5 WR, I could see a late round pick being another WR. A lot of TE projects in this draft as well.

I don't think so.  Pennix showed flashes that he may end up being a good qb and they didn't expect to be picking that high again.  If you need a qb and you really believe in one in the draft then you take them over anyone else.

Maybe a receiver that is quick or scares a db about getting behind them..

Im impressed at how they screened the pick. I think people here only really wanted Walker because it seemed inevitable it was going to happen. 

This is a great pick and finishes our starting offense. Throw a few more bodies on the D and I think we have a pretty complete team coming into the season.

Falcon fans hate their draft and feel that they gave up way to much to get Pearce. the grass aint always greener.

I really could care less about the Falcons. I hate this idea that teams should draft to counter their division rivals. You build the best team possible; that's how you compete - with anyone.

I'm not 100% sold on T-Mac, but I wasn't any more sold on Jalon Walker or James Pearce or any of the defensive players either. The only player I thought we had a realistic shot at that I was 100% sold on was Mason Graham, but the board didn't fall that way. That's just the draft for you.

Falcons also have Drake London - we don't.  Make sense now?

I wouldn't have gave up a first either, but their pass rush is going to be better.   I can pretty much guarantee that.  We are still going to be a bad defense with the slowest offense.

Same here, even Bryce was involved but they managed to fool everyone

No?  Tmac isn't as good of a prospect as Drake London and London didn't do anything really until this past season.  I'm not sure off brand drake London is thr compliment you think it is.  Especially at pick 8 when you have a million ways you could go to improve the team

    • They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....
    • He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.
    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
