NeonDeion Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) 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. Edited April 17, 2019 by NeonDeion Geneaut, DirtyBird757, Hashbrown3 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m talking about investing the draft capital to have a better chance at getting studs.

mtldirtybird Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I don't disagree but I'd accept an OT and or CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Yeah I get that its normal to find later rnd OGs tyan it is OTs. But still we have a long history of building rosters outside in, which is the wrong way. egoprime II 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
