ItS NeVER 2 EaRLY!!!!1111:hurray::hurray::hurray::hurray:

Obvious positions of Need.

#1 CB

#2 WR

#3 DT

#4 OL

#5 CB

Let give ourselves a healthy 6-10 Record.

Which should put us in back half of top 10.

Some names to keep your eyes on.

WR- http://walterfootball.com/draft2012WR.php

Justin Blackmon-WR

Alshton Jeffrey-WR

CB- http://walterfootball.com/draft2012CB.php

Dre Kirkpatrick-CB

DT- http://walterfootball.com/draft2012DT.php

No one at DT makes me excited right now.

Curious is Crick can show talent at Nebraska, Miami kid could be something of an Athletic freak. DT's underwhelm me.

Just some food for thought with CFB season coming.

Depending on health..OT could be our #1 priority.

Very true. If Otah bombs out and we're set on moving on from him I wouldn't mind drafting a top end LT and moving Gross to RT, which would extend his career.

Also, I can see DE being a big need if E.Brown continues to get abused and neither of the 2nd year guys (Norwood/Hardy) step up.

LOL Sh*t we could be really staring at a long list of needs. Hopefully both Cam AND Clausen look amazing and we can bend some team over in a trade with one of them.

Being a SEC guy, I have seen Kirkpatrick play. I will say this he puts up some good numbers but I think he is a bit overrated. He has all the tools and potential to be a top CB but I don't think I can say he is the best in the 2012 draft. He kind of came out of nowhere and I believe he started at CB only just last year.

Janoris Jenkins is a better corner in my eyes. Jayron Hosley is a better corner in my eyes. Not hating on Kirkpatrick at all but all this love for him has come as a surprise. I guess a lot of it has to do with potential.

As far as wide receiver goes I am on board for either Blackmon and Jeffery. I haven't really seen a whole lot of full games with Blackmon and their 30 year old quarterback but know he is explosive. Jeffery originally was going to USC so you know what type of potential he had. Both WRs are better than Julio Jones in my mind but worse than AJ Green.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
