ATLSlobberKnockers Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Takk will turn a corner if healthy. Might be with another team but he will eventually produce somewhere/time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been more shocked when TD drafted him.. I saw myself so so many other DEs that were much better in his draft.. Yeap,, that was the most shocking first round pick since I've been a Draftnut. I still think we could have a much better pass rusher than him.. AAMOF,, there is proof of that with the DEs that were drafted after him.... Biggest shocking moment of my Draft nut life.. ,, which is about 40 years of following the Falcons and their drafts... Good thing is I think they learned a good lesson on how to draft DEs from that move... So i can understand we may not like Takk due to his Immaturity, but i was actually glad we took Takk in 2017, the only player i remember wanting over Takk that season was Derek Barnett coming out of Tennessee. Anyways i went back and checked the sacks and numbers, the only 2 player That came remotely close to Takk's sack numbers at DE from that class are TJ Watt (obviously ) and Carl Lawson taken in round 4 by the Bengals. Most DE /Linebackers taken after Takk from that Class haven't shown anything. Even Solomon Thomas Taken 3rd overall in thst same class hasn't done anything either. So im curious to know from your high number of choices the 4 to 5 players you would have selected from that Class instead of Takk at DE.

1989Fan Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 That assumes you have to take a different DE than take...many here didn’t want any DE in round one because they didn’t like the draft class. Most here will say TJ, some hiding behind hindsight, but many actually did want him, there were countless threads here about drafting him back then. the available players most wanted by this MB: Takk McKinley, TJ Watt, Buddy Baker, Rueben Foster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Rueben Foster was a bust. This thread made me go back and look at DE/linebackers from that draft class. Honestly of the players drafted after takk, only TJ Watt has truly outperformed Takk at DE/Outside Linebacker. I posted a thread with tabulated numbers for DE and the best performing linebackers from that class. We actually didn't draft badly taking Takk. Shoulder Injury and All. I remember gushing over Takk when he came out of college. The Only DE i wanted and though we could get based on where we picked was Derek Barnett and even that was a big time dream then seeing how high Barnett went. Anyways here is the thread. Takk McKinley vs 2017 NFL DE Class. "AH Numbers" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
