Good to hear your breakdown FunBallad. You bring up solid points and you are not in the minority. There has been a lot of head-scratching this year. Because the Falcons have delivered the past 2 years, there is also a lot of defending the picks. I hope it works out.

I rate this draft D+ compared to what they passed on in both the first round and the third round. They passed on Bryan Bulaga in the first round. I expect may be pro bowl material and a bigger need than linebacker. I was shocked he wasnt grabbed around 8th pick and waited until green bay picked him at 23rd or whatever pick. In the third round tennant was still available at either pick we had and we passed him up to reach for someone that wasn’t going to be picked for another couple of rounds at least.
Bang for the buck F….. we reached way too far down on each and every pick including our first pick. Spoon isn’t a bad pick but better was available and we were too focused on a plan that quality was bypassed.

Appreciate you stopping by and thanks for the positive words. We haven’t been let down by Dimitroff yet so I still have faith despite minor reservations. Agree completely with Spoon and Johnson and also Dominique Franks. Great value that late in the draft.
