TheRisen999 520 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 On draft day I wasn't happy about our first round pick and didn't have kind words for Mr.Terrell but after watching a lot of footage I believe we may have gotten a steal. This film, in particular shows what type of Corner A.J. really is. I really believe he's going to surprise people.

Xfactor 4,190 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I think Terrell will be a better CB than a lot of people think. A lot of it is trying to get the LSU game out of their head. TheRisen999 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UnrealfalcoN 4,179 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 People underrate him because of that game vs LSU. Watch tapes of LSU WRs vs other top CBs. They burned Diggs, Henderson etc too NewtonLaws, TheRisen999 and Falcon from E 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FalconOdense 1,408 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 When you look across the Internet you would imagine that Terrell only played in that LSU game.. I think by December 2020 we would be really pleased about this class. g-dawg, TheRisen999 and Charles Wright 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WhenFalconsWin 27,646 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 It's draft day picks, 99.9% of us are wrong. There are too many highs and too many lows, and it sometimes take years to find out what is right and wrong. Some never do. I mean we still got some people who think Clowney is all world when he's at best and average player. There is your 0.01% TheRisen999 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MD-FalconFan13 3,509 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Considering the way the board fell, I am not as mad at the pick as I was on draft day. Still would've preferred Murray, but if the team had a higher grade on him then Murray or they saw they value at the position as a bigger need then I'll hold my off on opinion until we see results. Just saying though, I think we missed a future Pro bowler in Murray. PokerSteve, TheRisen999 and Jumpin Jehosaphat 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

New Jersey Falcon 127 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I think most of us were in the same boat, especially with all the smoke leading up to the draft about trading up for Young/ Okudah/ SImmons the bar was set high and eventually we were kind of set with the idea we would go all in so when those players got off the board we were puzzled to what exactly what the plan then. Which is how it should be tbh, TD keeping everyone second guessing. At the end I'm happy with our draft. PokerSteve and TheRisen999 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
k-train 8,924 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I can relate... but not about Terrell. I loved the Terrell pick & feel like I might be the only person here who actually saw that coming from a mile away. I post only one mock draft per year, but this year I did a version w/ trades & a version without. In the version without trades, I figured it was almost certain Okudah & Henderson would be long gone by #16. Terrell seemed like the most complete CB remaining in terms of size, speed, length, athleticism, experience, instincts, character, and health. Where I can relate to the OP is with the Hennessy pick. I kinda knew that was a real possibility we draft him, so that wasn't a shocker at all... I kinda knew the production was apparently good w/ him, so that wasn't too upsetting. However, leading up to the draft I watched a bunch of interviews with Hennessy & was really put off by what seemed to me to be a guy who was SUPER soft. He seemed plenty smart, seemed like he 's a great person... but he just seems completely devoid of any sorta nastiness at all. His Leave it to Beaver demeanor had me thinking this dude was like a cat cafe... absolutely no dog in there. So in my mind, I thought he was gonna get destroyed at the next level & therefore was pretty vocal on here about not being thrilled with the pick. After spending a little more time reading & watching stuff on him, hearing others talk about how he works, etc., I'm really starting to coming around on my thoughts of that pick. So, I'm hoping my initial reaction to that one was wrong & am excited to see what he does for the team. quickzero and TheRisen999 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So, I'm hoping my initial reaction to that one was wrong & am excited to see what he does for the team. You weren't the only one. I called it, barring a trade up, but I also saw the reports of Terrell being much higher on draft boards than in the media. Chris Simms had a good take on why Terrell was a tier above everyone not named Okudah and Henderson. I know people see film and interpret it differently but I put more stock into people who played or worked in the NFL and those that coach football than media pundits. It was a great pick, IMO. I didn't do much research onto Marlon Davidson, even though the Falcons had expressed interest, so I was expecting someone like Neville Gallimore or Madubuike at 47.

I get him seeming soft spoken, but he's mean in-game. He likes to hit.

After Young, Okudah and Simmons were gone and Terrell was announced for the Falcons, there were pundits commenting on him being the 5th or 6th best CB in the draft, he was slated to go like #61 instead of #16, blah blah blah. But in the end as you said, I'm happy with Terrell and happy with this draft class. Can't wait to see how these guys fit in with who's already here.
