We’re a poverty franchise, the fucking redditors could’ve done a better job building a team.
Taking a TE that high when, Jamar chase, micha, Devonta smith, Jaylen waddle, Penie Sewell, Patrick Surtain, were taking right after. Is why we will be a poverty franchise for decades
Then the following year taking the slowest wide receiver when our defense was ass and Garrett Wilson was on the board.
Then the following year taking a RB when we have an elite run game already, when arguably the best player in the draft is still on the board when historically we have had the worst pass rush in decades
Fuck my dad for making me watch this team and cursing me with being a falcons fan.
My preferred draft picks since the Arthur Smith era was the following:
Fields instead of Pitts Jermaine Johnson instead of Drake Jalen Carter instead of Bijan
Fields is trash though
He’s not trash but there’s no guarantee he would’ve done any better here to start his career
How many games have you actually watched him play?
Utterly irrelevant. You didn’t know he would be trash on draft day. The job of a GM (in terms of drafting) is to maximize the draft capital you have, and then leverage it into quality players at high value positions via either trades or drafting players. There is no position of higher leverage than QB, Fields clearly had a 1st Rd grade, AND we needed a QB.
That said, I would’ve taken Sewell to anchor the line, as OT is also a high value position.
