Are you happy with your team's draft?

Hmmm?

Not at all.

An injury prone west coast receiver
A linebacker nobody has ever heard of from Montana State
A linebacker nobody has ever heard of from Western Kentucky
A QB that will never see the field

Didn’t address the complete lack of pass rush or terrible offensive line.

Falcons are gonna be bad for a long time
 
How I’d grade every Falcons pick:

8- C- a deep draft for WRs, would have preferred a pass rusher
38- B- needed a linebacker, he’s pretty good, but still haven’t addressed the two biggest needs
58- F- You don’t draft players from Montana State in the second round
74- F- waste of a third round pick on a QB that is never gonna be a starter in the NFL
82- F- You really think a linebacker from Western Kentucky is gonna be better than Nakobe Dean? And 5 picks in, no d or o linemen
151- C- Not terrible value for the BYU RB, but not a position of need
190- B- Finally got an offensive lineman, and got one I think can be a starter one day. Made their best pick in the 6th round
213- C- I think they only made the pick because they got so much heat for passing on Dean earlier in the draft, so they decided to take two UGA players in the 6th round, but best case scenario for Fitzpatrick is blocking TE on three TE sets
 
Not really. But then again I hated the Parsons draft pick as well, so what do I know?

Seems like even though we have immediate holes we need to plug, our FO took a lot of guys with really high upside but raw or injured. I'm good with a value pick or two, hell I was hoping in the #rd we would take a flyer on Dean (damn PHL). But our entire draft seems to be guys that will need a lot of coaching and likely 1-2 years before they can contribute. We needed a guard at the very least that could step right in and play. Wish we would have gone Jermain Johnson in Rd1 and then in 2 gone with someone like Lucas out of Washington St. turns out we could have had Lucas in Rd3.
 
Yeah, I think GB was solid. I pretty much always favor going defensive front 7 in the first round and GB did that twice. I wasn't super keen on giving away a 2nd round pick to move up, but I'm not terribly upset about it because they moved up to get a WR many mocks had the Packers taking with the 22nd pick.

I don't expect Watson to do much in year #1; it's a huge jump in competition from North Dakota State to the NFL. The learning curve is going to be steep and he's likely going to need some significant adjustment time. But by year #3 he should be a quality NFL receiver.

My pre-draft wish list was to get a ILB, DL, WR, OL in some order with GB's first four picks and that's exactly what happened.
 
Yes.

-Got the QB I wanted (I keep hearing about how they should've waited until next year but I doubt they'll be bad enough for Young or Stroud).
-Got the QB a couple more weapons. Pickens is a 1st round talent who could conceivably be a No. 1 in 2023, Austin's size will always be limiting but you can work with that speed.
-Added DL depth, Leal is a 1st round talent but his drop in stock last year hopefully isn't a sign of things to come (Alameda Ta'amu vibes)
-Conner Heyward hopefully pushes Derek Watt's bloated contract off the roster, let's also see if he can line up at multiple positions in the pros.
-Curious about this second QB from SDSU. Probably a practice squad guy but if he shows anything that's the end of Rudolph.
-Know nothing about this LB from Ole Miss.

Worst part for me was seeing Tyler Badie going to Baltimore, not only did I want the Steelers to get him but he goes to Baltimore where he could definitely have success in that system.
 
I always prefer Big Uglies with early picks, but I think they got 2 day-one starters, without having a first round pick, and I like that they traded out to acquire 5 additional picks, in a draft that they started out with but a handful.
 
This is an example of Pickens not being the smartest guy. I love the fact that he threw around a GT nerd, but that got him suspended for the first half of the SECCG against LSU that year, and he was our only reliable WR that year. That was an all time great LSU team, so we weren’t winning regardless, but we would have had a better chance with Pickens in the first half


 
Seahawks, B+. I like most of the picks. Both tackles coming from Air Raid schemes is a little head scratching. Love the Kenneth Walker pick and the 6'4" corner.

I wasn't happy or upset with Smith, when he was selected, but believing he's going to play G and how the rest of the draft went I'm happy.

I give the Cowboys a B. When Jermaine Johnson fell to them he was my pick and I still wish they pulled that trigger, but Williams could replace Gregory's production, as long as his off field issues don't raise their heads.

Talk is cheap but he says having a kid has changed him. We'll have to wait and see.


Par for the course we all know Jerry and co. will take a boom or bust guy in the 2nd round.
 
Hi,

First time caller long time listener.
I am seeing an A for my team.
They got exactly what they felt ( and of course what fans felt) was positions of need.
Not satisfied with what was in the receiver class of this draft they went out and traded for a quality starter.
