Twitter reacts to the Atlanta Falcons selection of Bijan Robinson
The Atlanta Falcons held onto their eighth-overall pick and used it on playmaking running back, Bijan Robinson out of Texas.
Bijan is seen as a top-three player in the draft which helped Terry Fontenot overlook the 'positional value' debate. It is an intriguing pick that will come with a lot of criticism from both fans and experts but nothing matters until we see him on the field. Anyways, with that being said, let's see reactions from around the Twitterverse.

Those are your uber-talented, history-makin', superstar-weapon, former top-ten pick, future of the Falcons, group of offensive weapons from the past three drafts'.
The Atlanta Falcons just took the best player in this years draft. Bijan Robinson in the ATL will be a TREAT.

Robert Griffin III giving the Atlanta Falcons a lot of credit for taking the running back in the top ten.
RB Bijan Robinson to ATL…

Best overall prospect in the draft class. All-purpose playmaker. Can produce in any game situation. Pass catching ability at multiple levels of the field. #Falcons
I'm not saying Bijan Robinson will have Michael Vick impact in Atlanta - who could - but the Falcons are now all about Bijan. Very special player. The rare running back worth this high a pick.

As much as it hurts to put Skip Bayless in here, it was a must for what he says about the pick.
Bijan Robinson said the project the Falcons presented him during their visits very much included using him in the slot as a receiver. Robinson said he played many summers of 7v7 as a straight receiver, which is how he developed that skill.

This is very telling but not surprising, Bijan's ability out of the backfield is incredible. He can be a full-time slot receiver in the NFL, so why not use him at the position?
The Atlanta Falcons are taking Bijan Robinson..

• Chris Lindstrom
• Kaleb McGary
• AJ Terrell
• Kyle Pitts
• Drake London
• Bijan Robinson
Building something special.
That is a lot of offensive talent (and A.J. Terrell who isn't too bad himself) for Arthur Smith to play with for the next number of years.
What a scary offense the Falcons are going to have. Kyle Pitts. Drake London. Tyler Allgeier. Bijan Robinson.

And we will wrap this up with this tweet, the Atlanta Falcons are going to have talent that rivals their 2016 season. Drake London might not be Julio Jones but Kyle Pitts is better than their tight ends from back then, not to mention Jonnu Smith. Then their running backs are more talented than they were back then, and I say that as one of the biggest fans of Devonta Freeman during his prime.
All I am saying is that the Falcons now have some incredible talent on their offense. We shall see how the team will mesh with each other.
dark. Next. Bargain free agents for the Falcons
