Okay...seems to be a split on how the Falcons have done with their picks. Half of y'all think their picks have been downright TURRIBLE. Other half seem to be thoroughly happy with things so far.

Someone break this down. I'm not getting the near even split.

Get a OT- check
Beef up the interior D line- check
Pick up a back up RB- check
Grab OLBs that rush the QB- check

I give it a solid B+ favorite pick was the DT from Minnesota

First 2 picks: A

All other picks: C

TD needs to go.

Falcons are trying to copycat the Patriots or something... I personally can't stand the fckers. NO HEART .. I've been sick to my stomach ever since the Julio Jones pick

F U Falcons.

Chris, I've been real nice to you. Don't hate on the home team. Why? If a team wants to copycat anyone the pats are the team to follow.

Well if you consider going from a solid D the last three years to an A this year with solid logical selections I could throw ina + just for good measure.

I know the Falcons like I know the slight curve of my own &$#k. ... I try not to hate on em' or Matt Ryan, but the fact is... they are just going through the motions... You cannot take them seriously... So I do not.

I must be delusional then because I beleive the Falcons and the Dawgs could win it a. I don't base my life around it, but it is a part of my life. I hope GT wins every game before us just so the beating will resonate that much harder. Happy mother's Day!

Would love to top it off by taking chances on Richardson and Jeffcoat

I personally didn't know there were any Falcons fans that were not pissed off.

I love the Matthews and Freeman picks but was unimpressed by the rest of the selections. I am not going to freakout and call for TD's head based on another mediocore draft, but if we miss the playoffs again he needs to gtfo.

Final Grade: C+

Matthews - Great pick, reminds me of Kenn. But the credit goes to Blank for not letting TD mortgage 2 dtafts again. A
DT - Maybe a player, but did we really need yet another DT over an edge rusher. No. C-
Safety - No picks and no passes defended, but can hit. B-
All the others - Reaches, reaches, reaches plus a 5 9 corner that is slow. Any once again the supposed edge rushers come very late in the draft. C-

Overall c+ only due to Matthews. Even TD couldn't frick that up.

So you don't like the Devonta Freeman pick?

Hitter, doesn't look like he defends the pass too much. Good physical traits though. He is over 5 9 which appears to be a TD penchant.
