Only 1 DT first round pick since 1986


Recommended Posts

No wonder we never get push up the middle. I just looked it up and Jelly is the only DT first round pick for the Falcons since 1986. That’s absurd. And Jelly got injured before he even had a chance to perform. 

We are WAY overdue for a 1st round talent at DT. 

QW, Oliver, Wilkins, or Lawrence. To me we gotta get one of them. 

Edit: for those commenting “Peria Jerry”, Jelly = Peria Jerry. They are the same person.

He was drafted in the 5th round so by definition no. I’m talking about investing the draft capital to have a better chance at getting studs. We got super lucky to get Grady. 

Well I don't think we should draft a position in the 1st round just because we haven't done so in how ever many years.  I do agree that we got luck as fu!k with Grady.  But yes I think we should not be scared to grab an olineman or DT in the 1st if a player is there that we like.  Seems like we might go CB or some other position for some reason.

I’m not saying just bc but this year is loaded. A top DT will be available at 14

That makes me even more worried, honestly, since they will think that they can get a good value in the later rounds, which means that they probably won't take one in the 1st.

Sure there will be value but not immediate impact. Like Senat. Love him but gonna take a few years to develop. We need impact
