That’s a steal IMO. He dropped cause of the BS. Falcons didn’t frick up a pick. Huge win

We shoulda traded Pitts and moved up for Miller too

Nah. I think falcons hit it out of the park with the picks they had. Moving up to get miller would have been a huge misstep. James Pearce. If he can get his shot straight for next 6 months will be back. May have an NFL suspension afterwards. But it won't be long, I don't think

LOL. With all of the thugery in the NFL, you think teams were worried about a non-violent misdemeanor and a local ordinance?

He dropped because he's 5'8 and has shown a limited route tree on film. I think there's more potential to his game than what he showed at Georgia, but there is a lot to prove.

He is a play maker. With an nfl QB he should do great.

I would’ve liked to have seen them go OL given the loss of McGary.

I love Branch being a Falcon, but they have literally everything else they need except a quarterback and OL depth.

They definitely needed more explosiveness on the perimeter. I like Drake London, but he is never going to scare anyone down the field. The Falcons haven't had a real big play guy on the outside since Calvin Ridley started betting.

They also need a lot of help stopping the run.

Yep, and it shows that our best receiver was barely an NFL prospect.
Last season might have been Kirby's best season as a coach.
We won another SECC and made to the playoffs without outstanding offensive talent. And Bobo did some pretty good play calling considering what he had to work with.
