Atlanta Falcons fans want Justin Fields with the No. 4 pick
The Atlanta Falcons have a major decision to make this coming spring when it comes to the 2021 NFL Draft and many fans are making their feelings known.
The Falcons have yet to hire a GM or head coach as of yet, but the time will soon be coming for the hire to be made and shortly thereafter we should begin to know what the plan is moving forward.
Many Atlanta Falcons fans think the franchise should look to address a need like offensive line or edge-rusher with the No. 4 overall pick. Others believe the Falcons should trade back, gain more draft capital and potentially take a player a little later in the first-round.
Still, many others have made it clear that they’re ready to move on from Matt Ryan and they know exactly who they want his replacement to be: Current Ohio State QB Justin Fields.
Falcons need to do whatever it takes to get Justin Fields to Atlanta

Many Atlanta Falcons are sold that Justin Fields could be the next face of the franchise
The Falcons have a decision to make and the new leadership group may very well decide that it’s time to move on from Matt Ryan, but it’s going to come at a great cost.
You at least know what you’re getting from Ryan- who finished in the top-five in passing yards this season, by the way- but if you take a chance on a quarterback in the draft, you’re not given any guarantees.
Fields’ last game against Clemson, he looked like a monster. He played one of the best games- if not the best- of his career. However, if you’re watching the totality of his film, you’ll see that there are still flaws in his game. There are still areas where he can develop and he’s by no means a sure-fire Hall of Famer.
If you move on from Ryan and draft Fields, you’re also talking about more years of rebuilding and no quick turnaround. It’s not to say that a Ryan-led team can turn it around, but it is saying that you’ve basically given up on trying to win for the next couple of seasons.
Next. Only one logical way to trade Matt Ryan. dark
Fields may prove to be the pick and he may end up as an absolute baller, but there’s a risk there that many are willing to take and it just doesn’t seem like they’ve looked at the whole picture of why this team has struggled over the past three seasons.
