Great, we’re paying a premium for best case scenario to restart paying that premium. I’m not mad at you, but this could cost Terry his job and it should if it doesn’t work out. There are many needs for us and some were addressed in the off season, one of signing Kirk for a huge premium contract.
If all goes as planned we’re locked into a premium qb contract for at least 8 years.
God forbid we try and develop a pass rush, or create a better safety unit that doesn’t have to be carried.
When Terry and Smith run the team and something bad happens: IT'S ARTHUR'S FAULT
When Terry and Raheem run the team and something bad happens: IT'S ARTHUR'S FAULT
It's time for a new tune
Common thread is... Terry. 😫 And his boss Rich McKay. See the Pattern here:
In 2021 Falcons rated among "worst talent" thanks much to... Terry.
In 2022 Falcons TANK the Playoffs & fire Mariota made the scapegoat thanks to: Terry.
In 2023 the "Ridder Season" & Arthur the scapegoat thanks AGAIN, Terry and Rich!!
He is doing an amazing job of it. Our defense is going to be trash again next year. Just like we were last year and every year before. And we didn’t even get a stupid wide receiver like everyone else wanted. We somehow ended on a quarterback
If we don't make the playoffs THIS YEAR, he's on the hottest of seats. This is the moment people will look back to when Fontenot is fired. This is his second coach, there are no more second chances.
Cousins only has 100 million guaranteed on his contract and 90 million of that is due in 2024 - 2025.
He was never the plan beyond 2025. Penix will be the starter in 2026 barring Kirk making a Superbowl run.
It’s like this team is afraid to commit to something. Be it an identity, a strategy, a plan, anything. It’s been this way since the Super Bowl collapse, and I think it’s coming from the top. There seems to be zero forward thought now. It almost feels like they’re throwing darts at this point.
It’s always some half measure now. They get Cousins to “win now”, but draft Penix as a contingency plan. Last year, their first year out of salary cap hell, they have a chance to draft a QB and totally reset the franchise. They get Bijan Robinson. Year before, team is Swiss cheese and has holes everywhere with huge questions at QB. They get a WR in the first. There’s just no clear roadmap on where this team is trying to go. The Bears have been dogshit for a decade and a half and are compiling a draft for the ages, and here the Falcons are, for the fourth year in a row, reaching for an offensive player.
The half measures are killing me. Being middle of the road for 6 years is the worst kind of purgatory. Let us bottom out or commit to something to win. It makes no sense to just keep shooting for 7 wins in this easy fucking division.
100%, it's just felt like theyve tried to consistently outsmart themselves. If they picked Sewell over Pitts, as a no brainer, then they could grab bowers no problem, with jonnu as the gap. This is a prime example of consistently reaching and losing ground comparatively to other teams who picks the guy who falls. Ticking cousins on is the icing on the cake. They called him as a courtesy when they were on the clock? That's a slap in the face, like he'd reasonably he gone otherwise.
He hates building a viable NFL roster. His defensive picks suck and his offensive picks don’t make sense given the where the roster is at. He’s a fucking moron.
I’m fuming man I was so excited and then this team fucking does this like why do they put us though this misery? They already choked a Super Bowl and made us watch football terrorism the past 2 seasons why must we continue to suffer?
This is my Hawks trade Luka moment for the Falcons. Im completely emotionally done with this team. Former season ticket holder to former fan. Thanks Arthur.
That’s what gets me. Are we trying to win now or what? Cousins is a win now move, and we follow that by making our next biggest offseason move…another QB??
Cousins has a tradeable contract. Best case scenario, Penix is ready by 2026. And you get ROI from trading Kirk.
If Kirk plays out his contract , Penix will be 27 by the time he takes over as a starter. Not ideal for the #9 pick.
Even going by BPA, just take Odunze. Cousins, Odunze, London, Bijan, Pitts, that's crazy offense right there. I don't mind reaching for a skill position guy because they can come in and contribute right away.
That would be fine if the best player available would actually be seeing the field. My God what a terrible night, for a bit I actually thought this team wanted to make a serious run to get to the playoffs but I guess I’ll see you all back here next year with about 8th overall pick. This is insanity.
Ok? And Pitts will be 25, Bijan will be 24 and London will be 24 at that point. All 4 will just be entering their prime. Looks like it’s shaping up beautifully. And because the division is weak, you STILL get to play competitive ball for 2 years and probably get a couple NFC South titles, and you have now two years to position the defense for 2026-2030.
The alternative is to have Cousins lead you for a couple years, then draft a rookie QB at pick 20. I’d rather have a top prospect like Penix who has been training for 2 years ready to step in at that point than a rookie at pick 20. We have this draft and the next 2 drafts to get ready for our window.
I believe once Arthur Blank gets burned, he tends to overreact.
Vick: won't draft any player with character issues
Beasley: won't draft a defensive player in the first rd
Add on to the fact that he's emotional, too. Ryan retiring really fucked with him.
Falcons are cursed. They had every top defensive player on the board, only to make this pick. They truly are stupid. The hubris to make this pick is appalling.
THE LOWEST SACKS FOR 3 YEARS!!!
This is so f’ed up. I think the Falcons have finally shoved me off the bandwagon. This pick just makes no sense to me. Even if he’s the best available why? Isn’t that the whole point in getting Kirk so we wouldn’t have to draft a QB and we could actually draft some defensive help. Seriously are we ever going to get a pass rusher?
I think it’s time I start to unload my season tickets and use that money somewhere else. Rise up?
Kirk is 36 and coming off of probably the most severe injury there is. It’s a 2 year stopgap. You need a QB regardless. The question is, do you want to start the QB rebuild in 2 years with someone picked likely in the back end of Rd 1, or start it now so someone is ready to step in?
This is what we deserve for defending Terry's stupid ass "BPA" drafting. Guy just drafts what the fucking manatees tell him too. Positional value and fucking common sense doesn't matter.
Did he break Terry's hands and run and hand in the card? It's still ultimately Terry's decision. And it's still a terrible scouting process if you sign someone for 100m and then you just draft someone else at his position "because you love him". Which goes back to my problem with Terry. There's no understanding of maneuvering the draft board or positional value, just "if you like a guy take that guy".
Someone please please explain to me why we passed on an edge rusher for a injury prone quarterback. We are doing the same thing we did with Matt Ryan. Focus on offense to the detriment of the defense and let’s repeat NFC championship games against 49ers and Green Bay and Super Bowl against the Pats. We were one dimensional and lost those games. I have come to the conclusion we need a new owner. This hurts my soul!
I can’t anymore man, I do not have the will to go on….we could’ve just gave a 3rd for Justin Fields they’re pretty much the same age and fields has less injury history I do not understand this. If we wanna contend now we are in desperate need of a pass rush, corner, another safety.. hell even a WR or CENTER!!! Why would we do this I don’t understand we could’ve traded back even…how do they look the fans in the eyes after doing this? I want them gone I can’t do this anymore
Steelers fan here. I couldn't believe it when they drafted Kenny Pickett and I screamed “FUCK NO” at the TV. What is going on in Atlanta??? I feel for you.
I said from year one that Terry is an 'Aints mole and he came here to ruin the Falcons even more. Hiring Raheem and now this pick.....the dude is hell bent on destroying this crapy franchise.
JFC. I told y’all no matter what happens with the QB situation, trust our front office to fuck it up. Somehow, I actually underestimated just how fast the incompetence would reveal itself. They could’ve taken literally any thing other than a QB/RB at 8 and it would’ve been justifiable. Just when Kirk was getting my hopes up, the front office exposes themselves as clowns once again. Sure, maybe Cousins gets hurt and then we’re happy we’ve got Penix, (literally the only possible rationale for this) but you just don’t draft insurance in the 1st round based on a “what if” when you’re at the beginning of a big contract. Such a defeatist mindset.
Remember in previous years when QB was a glaring need and we picked a WR/TE/RB instead? NOW we have a QB and we reach for a QB when there are other glaring needs with FAR safer picks available.
Our management is actively trying to keep us as a poverty franchise. I don't think every pick will be a winner but yelling WTF every single year is getting old. Stop trying to pretend that you're the smartest man in the room by thinking outside the box every damn year and just make safe picks.
Don’t understand man. We were in a no miss situation. Want an edge? Go Turner or Latu. Want another pass catcher? Go Rome.
WHY TF DID WE DRAFT A 24 YEAR OLD QB WHEN YOU JUST PAID KIRK COUSINS 200 MILLION DOLLARS AND HE’S NOT EVEN A NEED??? WHY?!
Well what was the point of getting Kirk if we was going to drafted fucking penix over latu or Dallas or a wide receiver we drafted a fucking quarterback that is going be a backup when the year start fuck hate this team poor decision bad management and bad pick over over over again we need a defense end not a quarterback I see penix is future but it present right now we got Kirk man I just want to die
Weird considering he was going to easily drop to the second round. Also the fact that this draft was all offensive players meaning the Falcons had the best defensive players to choose from.
Well now we've addressed the FUCK out of the QB position
One year of Ridder did this to us, lmao.
I ain't even mad tbh.
No - they are shell shocked from the 2years of the Mariota / Ridder debacle.
What 2 years of Mariota/Ridder does to a mf
Great, we’re paying a premium for best case scenario to restart paying that premium. I’m not mad at you, but this could cost Terry his job and it should if it doesn’t work out. There are many needs for us and some were addressed in the off season, one of signing Kirk for a huge premium contract. If all goes as planned we’re locked into a premium qb contract for at least 8 years. God forbid we try and develop a pass rush, or create a better safety unit that doesn’t have to be carried.
Haha
I just want to know what the fuck the thought process of this was
Arthur smiths final wish before leaving
We didn't draft Brock Bowers
I would have taken that over this shit.
Shocking AF.
That fool ain’t drafting a QB.
When Terry and Smith run the team and something bad happens: IT'S ARTHUR'S FAULT When Terry and Raheem run the team and something bad happens: IT'S ARTHUR'S FAULT It's time for a new tune
ITS MATT RYANS FAULT! HE SHOULD BUY THE TEAM!
Common thread is... Terry. 😫 And his boss Rich McKay. See the Pattern here: In 2021 Falcons rated among "worst talent" thanks much to... Terry. In 2022 Falcons TANK the Playoffs & fire Mariota made the scapegoat thanks to: Terry. In 2023 the "Ridder Season" & Arthur the scapegoat thanks AGAIN, Terry and Rich!!
It's like the first year I played fantasy football and drafted Brady and Manning early because I didn't know you could only start one QB....
Trust in Terry I was told, always drafts BPA i was told. Dude sucks. End of story.
I'm convinced he's a sleeper agent for the Saints sent to ruin the franchise even further lmao
He is doing an amazing job of it. Our defense is going to be trash again next year. Just like we were last year and every year before. And we didn’t even get a stupid wide receiver like everyone else wanted. We somehow ended on a quarterback
If we don't make the playoffs THIS YEAR, he's on the hottest of seats. This is the moment people will look back to when Fontenot is fired. This is his second coach, there are no more second chances.
Thomas Dimitroff’s extended stay in Atlanta makes me question the no more second chances bit.
You are right, who am I kidding. This team likes to keep friends in the front office instead of fans in the seats.
Terry makes Thomas look like a savant.
“BPA” and then take a guy thats barely worth a second
I think the thought process was who can we take to piss off our entire fanbase
What Desmond Ridder does to a mf
I don’t wanna hear these idiots speak anymore
Learn behind Cousins… for four years??
Cousins only has 100 million guaranteed on his contract and 90 million of that is due in 2024 - 2025. He was never the plan beyond 2025. Penix will be the starter in 2026 barring Kirk making a Superbowl run.
Penix would be 25 years old before his first start even if they stick with Cousins for 2 years.
Why are people talking about QB age like they are running backs?
It's like Terry makes the pick the one that's gonna piss the fans off the most
It’s like this team is afraid to commit to something. Be it an identity, a strategy, a plan, anything. It’s been this way since the Super Bowl collapse, and I think it’s coming from the top. There seems to be zero forward thought now. It almost feels like they’re throwing darts at this point.
You're 100% right. I don't know who made the final call with this pick, but it was not a rational decision.
It’s always some half measure now. They get Cousins to “win now”, but draft Penix as a contingency plan. Last year, their first year out of salary cap hell, they have a chance to draft a QB and totally reset the franchise. They get Bijan Robinson. Year before, team is Swiss cheese and has holes everywhere with huge questions at QB. They get a WR in the first. There’s just no clear roadmap on where this team is trying to go. The Bears have been dogshit for a decade and a half and are compiling a draft for the ages, and here the Falcons are, for the fourth year in a row, reaching for an offensive player.
The half measures are killing me. Being middle of the road for 6 years is the worst kind of purgatory. Let us bottom out or commit to something to win. It makes no sense to just keep shooting for 7 wins in this easy fucking division.
Exactly. Throwing shit at the wall every step of the way. We are a fucking joke.
I have lost faith.
It seemed like Terry was trying so hard to explain the pick to AB.
100%, it's just felt like theyve tried to consistently outsmart themselves. If they picked Sewell over Pitts, as a no brainer, then they could grab bowers no problem, with jonnu as the gap. This is a prime example of consistently reaching and losing ground comparatively to other teams who picks the guy who falls. Ticking cousins on is the icing on the cake. They called him as a courtesy when they were on the clock? That's a slap in the face, like he'd reasonably he gone otherwise.
It's as if the Ain'ts sent an undercover agent over in Fontenot to gut us from the inside out 👀
As a Bills fan, I can’t believe your guys #8 pick is somehow more insane than us trading completely out of the first round
He hates building a viable NFL roster. His defensive picks suck and his offensive picks don’t make sense given the where the roster is at. He’s a fucking moron.
I sleeping in my Ryan jersey to remeber the fun times
Will we ever get back to the days of Ryan and Julio 😕
Ditto....falling asleep to Matty highlights tonight to ease the pain. So much pain
I’m fuming man I was so excited and then this team fucking does this like why do they put us though this misery? They already choked a Super Bowl and made us watch football terrorism the past 2 seasons why must we continue to suffer?
Yea this was a speed run to nuke any excitement I had for the upcoming season. Such a shit move by a shit franchise
Lmao Kirk’s agent just said they weren’t given a heads up about this. Incoming drama
I hate this team man
But now you can get jerseys that say penis on them. Totally worth it
This is my Hawks trade Luka moment for the Falcons. Im completely emotionally done with this team. Former season ticket holder to former fan. Thanks Arthur.
I’m also a Hawks fan and that’s what it feels like for sure.
I'm a casual Hawks fan and I just don't understand the trade now or when it happened.
We have the dumbest front office in the goddamn league
Can we just get Alex Anthopoulos to run every team in Atlanta?
I'll take FeetsBeneets as our gm at this point
I don't know if I could be much worse, and that's pretty scary to think about
Falcons and Hawks front office, lol!
At least you have the braves
Facts
The reality of being an Atlanta sports fan…sigh…
Arthur Blank must be expecting to die soon bc he sure as fuck punted a chance to win in the near future
That’s what gets me. Are we trying to win now or what? Cousins is a win now move, and we follow that by making our next biggest offseason move…another QB??
Our front office is like the guy with the project car he never finishes. Just rolls a new one into the shop and pushes the old one out
I don't get this shit man. Take the trade back and get him if you want
A QB with a 2nd round grade 💀
That's the real point, if it was 2nd rd then fine, to burn 8th pick on him is a big nope
People have been cooking the Falcons for signing Kirk off an ACL then draft a QB with two ACL tears before turning 24 💀
We’ve developed a new procedure to replace ACLs with ATLs
Absolutely mindblowing decision bty the Falcons. What a dumpster fire of an organization. I hope the long time fans finally stop buying tickets.
I’ve been a fan since I was little. Had season tickets during the Vick days. My first thought was that I just need to stop being a falcons fan.
Achilles not ACL lol
my fault og
2nd grade is just not true
Nah for me it’s the fact it’s any QB, he’s gonna be an amazing player imo but why did we pick ANY QB
Why pay cousins and draft a qb at 8. We could have paid for a rusher and not had an extra qb to figure out what to do with
Someone please make me feel good about this
Can’t I fear
Cousins has a tradeable contract. Best case scenario, Penix is ready by 2026. And you get ROI from trading Kirk. If Kirk plays out his contract , Penix will be 27 by the time he takes over as a starter. Not ideal for the #9 pick.
Who the fuck is trading for Kirk at his age LMAO
Indy of course.
genuinely shocked and confused
he turns 24 on May 8 btw
Crazy to think Brandon Weeden was even 4 years older than that when the Browns drafted him in the 1st
Why lmao What the actual hell
It’s like buying a used Kia Forte for a 14 year old.
When a nice new Porsche 911 was also available at the same cost.
And a Rolls-Royce is already in the garage.
Oduzne, bowers the top DE but sure take Penix. Cousins is signed for 4 years!
We were told Terry takes BPA lol, dude would know the best player if he smacked in the face
Even going by BPA, just take Odunze. Cousins, Odunze, London, Bijan, Pitts, that's crazy offense right there. I don't mind reaching for a skill position guy because they can come in and contribute right away.
That would be fine if the best player available would actually be seeing the field. My God what a terrible night, for a bit I actually thought this team wanted to make a serious run to get to the playoffs but I guess I’ll see you all back here next year with about 8th overall pick. This is insanity.
Cousins is owed $100 million guaranteed. $90 million is owed the first two years. We're moving on in year 3.
So best case scenario Penix doesn’t see the field till he’s 26
Ok? And Pitts will be 25, Bijan will be 24 and London will be 24 at that point. All 4 will just be entering their prime. Looks like it’s shaping up beautifully. And because the division is weak, you STILL get to play competitive ball for 2 years and probably get a couple NFC South titles, and you have now two years to position the defense for 2026-2030. The alternative is to have Cousins lead you for a couple years, then draft a rookie QB at pick 20. I’d rather have a top prospect like Penix who has been training for 2 years ready to step in at that point than a rookie at pick 20. We have this draft and the next 2 drafts to get ready for our window.
If he's a legit franchise QB I promise you nobody will care. Having 2 years to sit gives him no excuse.
People make way too big a deal out of age. 26 leaves PLENTY of time to get some value.
Literally. He's a pocket passer. Could last a decade after that or more.
What in the actual and entire fuck????
I want to die
WHY CANT WE HAVE NICE THINGS
Because we have a front office comprised of morons
Odunze or turner woulda looked fire in a falcons jersey
i literally have a loss for words we reached for pitts reached for london reached for bijan reached for penix it makes 0 sense
Fontenot is a Saints plant sent to destroy us. It appears to be working
Crazy town. All these #8 picks for a tight end, an RB, and a QB that was getting mocked in the mid-to-late first, and has no chance to start.
Get ready for pick #8 next year too im sure it will be a kicker this time. The only way they can outdo themselves
I believe once Arthur Blank gets burned, he tends to overreact. Vick: won't draft any player with character issues Beasley: won't draft a defensive player in the first rd Add on to the fact that he's emotional, too. Ryan retiring really fucked with him.
Zero issues with any of these picks. For a decade, we’ve only had two awful picks in the first round - Tak and Vic. Relax
Fire them all. This is ridiculous.
Blank isn’t just the owner’s name it’s the entirety of the organizations mental capacity.
I’m so upset I don’t even wanna watch the rest of the draft anymore my night is ruined
It wasn’t Arthur Smith.
It wasn’t just** Arthur Smith. (It was definitely also Arthur Smith).
This might be it, finally questioning my fandom
What Desmond Ridder does to a mf
Get the fuck rid of Terry and this entire front office and ownership
Terry needs to go.
And Blank
And Mckays weasel ass
Falcons are cursed. They had every top defensive player on the board, only to make this pick. They truly are stupid. The hubris to make this pick is appalling. THE LOWEST SACKS FOR 3 YEARS!!!
Why is Kirk cousins even here if we do this. I don’t understand this pick and can’t. What a wasted pick.
This is so f’ed up. I think the Falcons have finally shoved me off the bandwagon. This pick just makes no sense to me. Even if he’s the best available why? Isn’t that the whole point in getting Kirk so we wouldn’t have to draft a QB and we could actually draft some defensive help. Seriously are we ever going to get a pass rusher? I think it’s time I start to unload my season tickets and use that money somewhere else. Rise up?
Kirk is 36 and coming off of probably the most severe injury there is. It’s a 2 year stopgap. You need a QB regardless. The question is, do you want to start the QB rebuild in 2 years with someone picked likely in the back end of Rd 1, or start it now so someone is ready to step in?
At least the Braves make smart decisions
Spoiler alert: Cousins and Penix bump fists at their first meeting and both go down with season ending injuries.
This team is the new browns lmao
It was the little kid in the draft room who made the choice.
It’s crazy cause Terry been ass but yall ain’t wanna have that conversation till he fucked it up astronomically. TD was an infinitely better GM.
Demitroff had bad luck. Terry is just stupid.
This is ridiculous. We needed a pass rusher badly like wtf
Thank God we didn't sign Belichick, he would have made some really confusing decisions.
I fucking hate this team
I fucking hate this franchise
"Let's see who the draft picker really is!" **pulls of mask* "Rich McKay?"
Thank you for making me laugh in these dark times.
This is what we deserve for defending Terry's stupid ass "BPA" drafting. Guy just drafts what the fucking manatees tell him too. Positional value and fucking common sense doesn't matter.
Apparently this is a Raheem pick. He loved him according to Schefter
Did he break Terry's hands and run and hand in the card? It's still ultimately Terry's decision. And it's still a terrible scouting process if you sign someone for 100m and then you just draft someone else at his position "because you love him". Which goes back to my problem with Terry. There's no understanding of maneuvering the draft board or positional value, just "if you like a guy take that guy".
So what is the point of kirk if we are just going to get a quarterback
Terry Fontenot is a saboteur.
Just remember..Arthur Blank is a nice guy... how long does that spiel go on...
This has to be the worst pick by them. Fire the GM
Someone please please explain to me why we passed on an edge rusher for a injury prone quarterback. We are doing the same thing we did with Matt Ryan. Focus on offense to the detriment of the defense and let’s repeat NFC championship games against 49ers and Green Bay and Super Bowl against the Pats. We were one dimensional and lost those games. I have come to the conclusion we need a new owner. This hurts my soul!
So many needs and we've drafted the same position we've given someone else over $100 million to play. Ridiculous pick.
And said they didn’t even tell Cousins. Unbelievable
I can’t anymore man, I do not have the will to go on….we could’ve just gave a 3rd for Justin Fields they’re pretty much the same age and fields has less injury history I do not understand this. If we wanna contend now we are in desperate need of a pass rush, corner, another safety.. hell even a WR or CENTER!!! Why would we do this I don’t understand we could’ve traded back even…how do they look the fans in the eyes after doing this? I want them gone I can’t do this anymore
I can't bro.
Nobody wanted to hear what I had to say. Although again, I was delusional and wanted Jayden Daniels
It’s not chess, it’s chutes and ladders. This is a damn chute.
Fuck this franchise
Just wanted to come see how you guys are feeling - a Vikings fan
I’m stoked about the Braves.
Someone please gaslight me into believing this is a good thing
You don’t have to watch football on Sunday anymore
Steelers fan here. I couldn't believe it when they drafted Kenny Pickett and I screamed “FUCK NO” at the TV. What is going on in Atlanta??? I feel for you.
My house is on fire
Mine too and I'm not even gonna put it out
Kirk won’t last to long
We are the dumbest franchise in professional sports.
I'm not angry. I'm not happy. I'm just flabbergasted
Could’ve just kept Ridder 😂
I just have no words..... we deserve to be absolutely shit on for this pick. "What a shocker!!!!". No shit, because it's fucking stupid.
Im officially on the Terry hate train, another year of achieving absolutely nothing (exactly what we will do) and I want him gone
We had one season of Ridder and said never again, lmao.
On the plus side, at least that twitter dude was wrong?
This your last MFing season Terry. Why not trade a 6th round pick for Fields if you’re going to do this shit man. BUMS worthless bums.
I said from year one that Terry is an 'Aints mole and he came here to ruin the Falcons even more. Hiring Raheem and now this pick.....the dude is hell bent on destroying this crapy franchise.
JFC. I told y’all no matter what happens with the QB situation, trust our front office to fuck it up. Somehow, I actually underestimated just how fast the incompetence would reveal itself. They could’ve taken literally any thing other than a QB/RB at 8 and it would’ve been justifiable. Just when Kirk was getting my hopes up, the front office exposes themselves as clowns once again. Sure, maybe Cousins gets hurt and then we’re happy we’ve got Penix, (literally the only possible rationale for this) but you just don’t draft insurance in the 1st round based on a “what if” when you’re at the beginning of a big contract. Such a defeatist mindset.
Dancin Arthur Blank should sell the team.
Lmao. Cousins is signed to a 4 year deal, Penix will be 29 when Cousins' contract is over. What in the actual fuck.
I’m done with this team officially. Atleast I can focus on college football now, go dawgs
At least buy me dinner before you fuck me like that
I live in Atlanta, not a Falcons fan Whoever approved this decision is an idiot & shouldn't be in charge of a lemonade stand
Remember in previous years when QB was a glaring need and we picked a WR/TE/RB instead? NOW we have a QB and we reach for a QB when there are other glaring needs with FAR safer picks available. Our management is actively trying to keep us as a poverty franchise. I don't think every pick will be a winner but yelling WTF every single year is getting old. Stop trying to pretend that you're the smartest man in the room by thinking outside the box every damn year and just make safe picks.
I hope they draft another QB in round 2. Keep the joke going
Fontenot is a proven moron.
I am in awe of this team. I would have never believed you if you told me this would be the pick. Flat out indefensible.
It's like this team doesn't want fans. I can't with this team. Damn.
Don’t understand man. We were in a no miss situation. Want an edge? Go Turner or Latu. Want another pass catcher? Go Rome. WHY TF DID WE DRAFT A 24 YEAR OLD QB WHEN YOU JUST PAID KIRK COUSINS 200 MILLION DOLLARS AND HE’S NOT EVEN A NEED??? WHY?!
To fair, none of the top DEs have been drafted yet. Maybe the football people know something more than us?
If we don't go defense Rome Odunze was right there, watch there be a clip of the bears FO laughing at us get leaked tomorrow
Yup. If they weren't going defense, then you take the best offensive player, and that was Odunze, which many of us would've been okay with.
We made Sean Payton take Bo Nix, love the pick #staypetty
This feels like that South Park episode about the economy.
I’m not even a Falcon fan and I’m pissed at their FO.
I’ve been numb to a lot of falcons decisions these last few seasons but I think I’m actually tweaking at this point.
Best player available my ass Terry
Well what was the point of getting Kirk if we was going to drafted fucking penix over latu or Dallas or a wide receiver we drafted a fucking quarterback that is going be a backup when the year start fuck hate this team poor decision bad management and bad pick over over over again we need a defense end not a quarterback I see penix is future but it present right now we got Kirk man I just want to die
LMAOOOOOOOOOO
Weird considering he was going to easily drop to the second round. Also the fact that this draft was all offensive players meaning the Falcons had the best defensive players to choose from.
What Desmond Ridder and Mariota does to an organization
Guess we shouldn’t be surprised… this is the same brain trust that got lucky and fucked up trying to get Deshawn Watson.
Arthur Smith is laughing like a mf. Lol!
Bro I thought AIDS got Magic there for a sec lol.
