I would then take Darnell Wright in the 3rd round and then get Dorian Thompson-Robinson if he will be available in the 5th round.
Love it!

Jalen Carter falling down draft boards. It's a shame we can't really capitalize and bring him in here. But dude needs to get as far away from the south as possible.

No way Carter falls pass #8 to the Falcons. If i was Carter's team, I would ask teams 1 through 7 not to select him, and make a deal with the Falcons at #8, since Carter will probably be on probation in the state of GA for the next 2 years. It will just make it alot easier for him fulfill his requirements and not have to travel constantly for the next few years.

I would just roll the dice and go with Reuben Foster as the first pick

https://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=146&t=1522879


In 2017 i was hot for Cunningham and Foster and was warm on TJ Watt

This year I'm hot for Ringo and Nolan Smith and warm on Van Ness

What happen in 2017 with TJ Watt makes me want to look alot harder now on Van Ness...

Myles Murphy or Nolan Smith?

Who do you take between the two?

Lions trade away Okudah
which means Lions are more likely to draft CB at #6 and not DT
which means it slightly increases the odds of Carter falling to #8!!!...

Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reports Texas RB Bijan Robinson has been "consistently connected" to the Falcons. 

Breer said the Falcons taking Robinson with the eighth pick in the draft would make sense considering Atlanta head coach Arthur Smith "built an imposing, dominant offense in Tennessee around a bell cow back, which allowed him to manage the quarterback spot a little differently." Robinson landing in Atlanta would immediately tank the fantasy prospects of Tyler Allgeier, who was impressive as a rookie in 2022 with 1,035 yards on just 210 rushes in the massively run-heavy Falcons offense. Robinson would serve as the focal point in the hyper-conservative Atlanta offense and would be a first-round fantasy pick in all formats.

I have concluded, I want Bijan. He's a game changer, difference maker and would give us an elite offense.

Elite talent and depth. That's how to craft a draft...

^Falcons couldn't reasonably draft Carter to his hometown team with the huge scandal that he's linked to. It's simply not a viable option for a multi-billion dollar business.

But they got the best player at the RB position and a game changer instead.

We now have the best collection of RBs in the league...by a country mile.

Last year before the season I picked KC vs Philly in the Super Bowl and KC winning.

Philly looks like they'll return and I have them winning. Hell of a defense they have and yesterday was was a special day for them.
