Falconcheff Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 No, too many experts had Henn rated much higher...Henn was Gil Brandt's #1 center g-dawg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino11 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Can’t Go wrong between Henny n Kush CaliFalcons, Sportsman2593, Diggable Birds and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jigsaw Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Does it matter? Hennessy is ours now and was taken before Cushenberry so my preference doesn’t matter at all. I support my team. g-dawg, Falcons_Frenzy and Artys Arryn 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightningDawg58 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Honestly.... yeah. But Hennessy is a better scheme fit for outside zone so its good. 1989Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fired Up Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Henny is perfect in the ATL. Real talk though the guy didn't give up a sack in the last 2 years, I think it's a very good pick. Cush I think is an excellent player as well, but I'm happy with this pick. V-Town Falcon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark Kent™ Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I like them both. I preferred Henny a little more, but would have been completely fine with Crush as well. I think both can play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So since that’s what some of the fans wanted we should take their limited knowledge compared to NFL scouts and debate something that won’t change? Some of these threads are worse than clickbait.

Drvillain Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 falcons had a chance to choose one or the other and went with Hennesey. Thats all I need to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? Those guys were long-time NFL GM's and built Super Bowl winning teams. You don't build a Super Bowl winning team unless you know how to evaluate talent.

CTann Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I’m perfectly fine with Hennessy as he, Cushenberry, and Bredeson (still available) are my 3 favorite interior OL in this draft. Would’ve been glad with any of the three, and we got one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snafu Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 On the BR draft, they were cracking up about the possibility of selling "Hennessy" ATL jerseys. Then Denver grabbed Cushenberry and they started cracking up even more. Said based on name alone, these 2 guys couldnt go to better cities.

atljbo Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 In a zone blocking scheme I like Henney.... His reach blocking and athleticism fit the scheme Falcons Fan MVP and Ergo Proxy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niels petersen Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Maybe. Both are great players IMO. But I think Hen is a better scheme fit and this FO has shown they are willing to take players who fit the system even though they might be ranked a bit lower, and that has worked out pretty good so far. Hennessy was basically studying Mack already, so it just makes so much sense to make him the pick, so he can pick it all up in person from Mack. I think there is an extra motivational dimension with Hennessy, given he can learn from Mack. Very very happy with the Hennessy pick!

Hennessy said Alex Mack’s OL coach in CLE became his coach year 1 at Temple; when he got converted to C, and guess what? Dude shows him all of the tape on Mack and he started emulating his game. So, basically you could say he began to study under Alex years ago now. Stay woke. AUTiger7222 and Falcons Fan MVP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
