I hate this argument.

The Saints don't draft LSU players. The Packers don't draft Wisconsin players. The Steelers (Pickett and Freiermuth aside) don't draft Penn St/Pitt players and their attendance is just fine.

Draft the right players. This manifest destiny bullshite that the falcons should draft UGA players b/c it would draw more UGA fans is silly at best and arrogant at worst.

The Falcons don't draft well. We know this.

The problem is Blank. He needs to sell the team. He has no idea what he's doing and he's been a bad owner for a decade.

He was a bad owner when he fired Dan Reeves.
Honestly.

It is neither silly or arrogant. It is fact. It is not even a stretch.

It’s overblown even worse this year with the Jalen Carter situation. I wasn’t mad when they didn’t take him this year, even though they could absolutely have used DL help. I got it. It seemed risky to them. Whatever. Good for JC because he ended up in a superior situation. But I thought it was insane when they passed on Nakobe for a converted QB from D2 at linebacker. Then they drafted Justin Schaffer just to appease the UGA crowd who could have told you that he spent most of his career in Athens flopping around like a fish. And like 10 picks after Schaffer, there goes Salyer to the Chargers and when the LT went down in week 5 or something last year, he got credited with coming in and saving their offensive line. All the while the Falcons trot out their pathetic offensive line

And yet the Eagles are a beast with a ton of Georgia players. It’s almost like - good players from the best college can help you win.

Instead the Falcons draft - Calvin Ridley, Kyle Pitts, Drake London and Bijan Robinson only to produce a shitty offense. Not only do they have no clue what they are doing but they have tripled down on it. I’m not saying they should just draft UGA players but they have probably the worst draft strategy in the league. They are amateur hour execs. Bijan is a good player and he basically splits time with Allgier because the coaches are just as bad as the execs- same with Pitts basically getting out touched by Smith at TE. So bad
