1st bad move - re- upping the oft injured and over priced DeVonta Freeman when they didn't need to


Agreed. Awful move.

2nd & 3rd bad move - drafting the guy I call Fake Matthews with 8th overall pick and then re-upping him despite his mediocre results, if his last name weren't MATTHEWS and you judged him purely on his College Film there's no way he's a Top10 NFL Draft Choice


He hasn't been a superstar but for the most part he's been solid. However, if the Falcons can trade him and then draft Andrew Thomas next year, I'm on board.

quote:

8th bad move - Not signing Jared Cook as a FA tight end, our TEs are good not great, but Cook has shown speed and explosiveness down the seam and can stretch defenses better than Hooper, over the last 4 yrs we have missed getting him as a FA twice, he'd allow us to run 2 TE sets and still be explosive while forcing Defenses to respect the run


Hooper is really good. Signing Cook would have been a waste of a roster spot.

Picking up Beasley's option this year was the worst. That was indefensible and Quinn/Dimitroff should be fired for that alone.

The Julio contract was really bad too. They gave a 30 year old WR an almost fully guaranteed contract. That is bad.

quote:

7th bad move - using a 1st round slot on an OL with a BAD HEART, dude this is the NFL


McGary looks like he might end up being a solid player, but they traded a TON of draft capital to get him. Going OL with the first two picks after signing Carpenter, Brown, and Sambrailo this offseason was puzzling.

I do like Lindstrom and think he will be very good.
