It would be nice if this board had any traffic.
Sadly I think it needs to die.
I don’t know enough to contribute but like to read what others think.

It picks up during Braves and Falcons seasons. There’s not much to talk about right now.

FA signings are big talk everywhere else.
Draft is coming up.

I mean this is a glorified Saints/LSU message board as a whole. Not to mention UGA just won back to back 'ships. The Falcons are a clear 3rd or maybe even 4th most popular team in GA.

I'd say:
1) UGA
2) Braves
3) Falcons?
4) Atlanta United (they might even be #3)

I like the backup signing of Taylor Heineke. Tough kid who plays hard. They really like Ridder

They've been busy this FA. Wonder where they go with their 1st and 2nd picks?
WR?
DE?

Biggest remaining need is LG in my opinion.

Pass rush is still atrocious, as it has been for most of the last 30 years.

Calais Campbell visiting the Falcons. I wonder if Fontenot looks at this site.

Lol. Corners are useless without a pass rush. This would be a typical Falcons move.

Our WR core is meh at best. Not to mention our pass rush/DE has been shittastic for at least 25 years.

All it is is people who live in armpit shithole towns in Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee, etc bitching about how bad of a city Atlanta is….. Little do they remember that Atlanta hosted the summer Olympics.. hosted Super bowls, hosted college championships.. home of the college football hall of fame, etc etc etc

Why someone from Mobile, AL or any town in Louisiana would say that Atlanta is a shithole city is beyond me. It’s a top 10 major city with incredible suburbs in the United States

I think Skoronski from Northwestern is in play at #8. Short term very good answer at LG who might be able to kick out to tackle when the time comes. Someone like Jalin Hyatt would be a good pick if he's still around at #39. This offense desperately, desperately needs someone who consistently scares a defense more than 20 yards downfield.

I also think Arthur Smith would give one of his testicles to get Darnell Washington on this roster. He is an ungodly good blocker with untapped potential as a receiver. He seems like a football player Smith would draw up in a lab.

I expect this to be a much improved team in 2023.

Nobody who lives in Louisiana/NOLA/BR has any right to call any other place a shithole. That is the absolute shittiest state in the country.

I think it's jealousy.

No it isn't. Louisiana has beauty all over just like every state. I've lived in almost every Southeastern state and they're all awesome. They all come with negatives too but that's anywhere in the world.

When I said shitty I was referring to livability.

I've never been to LA so I can't speak at all when it comes to natural beauty, etc.
