    Sleeper at pass rusher that I would love the Falcons to land: Antwaun Powell-Ryland from VT. Finished with 15 sacks on the year, and was a player you constantly saw gravitating to the ball. I don't get why he isn't higher on boards. His stats improved every year, too.

      @@dark8prince201Penix also had a lot of offensive plays that were barely missed due to his lack of time practicing with them and lack of chemistry. It will come, and those mistakes will be corrected with more development and reps. But it was clearly on display his big play ability. This offense just runs a lot better when you have a guy who can put some real zip on the ball and moves a lot better in the pocket. Those rookie mistakes were bound to happen, dont think too much on it because he’s gonna get better and most of those picks weren’t even his fault.

    reminder that the falcons have no hit on a pass rusher since Pat Kerney in 1999.
    Yes, Beasley had 15.5 sacks in 2016, but about 11 of those sacks came vs Denver, LA, and SD that season and he pretty much did nothing all other years he was here.
    Some will say Grady Jarrett, but let's be honest. Grady is not a "Pass Rusher." He's a solid, well rounded player who can do a bit of run stopping and sometimes get to the QB, but we are thinking a double digit sack guy on the edge like an outside backer or DE.
    Don't forget we took Jamal Anderson in 2007 who went on to accumulate all of 2-3 total sacks as a falcon when we also needed LB help and Pat Willis was sitting there. We took Peria Jerry over Clay Matthews, and Jerry went on to have zero impact as a falcon in his short few years on the team. We took Takk McKinley over TJ Watt, and we all know how that turned out.
    If Atlanta finally decides to address defensive areas of need, instead of the best offensive player available method they've used every year of TF's tenure as GM, can we really trust this incompetent team to select the correct guy at the pass rush position?
    And for all the fake falcons fans: John Abraham was not drafted by atlanta. It's amazing how everytime i list these concerns, people respond with "Mike Smith drafted john abraham." Abraham came down in free agency in 2006 two coaches and one GM before Mike Smith was ever a head coach.

He was at Michigan State prior to that. He was a DE in high school who was converted to a DT. I would love to snatch him up with our 4th round pick.

    First of all the draft alone is never enough to put together a consistent winner. You have to fill important gaps through free agency. How will they be able to go after top quality free agents when team management has burdened the team with $67 million in dead cap money. When they signed a 36 year old QB coming off a serious injury they didn’t just make a bad decision for last year but this year will be impacted too. Because of the teams financial situation will they have to sign second tier players and try to sell the fans on how awesome they are. As of January 9th they have just over $6 million dollars in cap space so they’ll be trying to restructure contracts. Be ready to see them cut players not because they want to but because they have to for financial reasons. You see because of the management of this team they are ranked 28th in available cap space. The fans just have to hope that the coach recycling program hire for DC is good at making the most out of limited resources and that the historically below 500 head coach exceeds expectations.

      No we aren’t mostly. I don’t want to see Falcons pick another developmental guy. Get the guy who has shown the most production and has polished technique. I’d take Mike Green before Mykel Williams.

    I'm not convinced that we wouldn't take Tyler Warren if he was available at 15, even with Kyle Pitts still on the team.
    I know Raheem doesn't have a history of playing a lot of 12-man personnel, but he's also never had TE talent like Tyler Warren and Kyle Pitts on his roster.

      We wouldn’t especially if Terry wants to keep his job. Imagine you being a GM and in your tenure you used two first rounders on TE, they’d think you’re crazy
