I was absolutely wrong

If Terrell would've came out last year, he might have been a top 10-15 lock. Clemson Dline was average in 2019 and Dabo had Terrell on an island all year. He still had a good year and will probably turn into a fan favorite quickly.

 As the guy moderating stated I can see him as a great FS. Fast,sure tackler and excels in zone. Would be a great center fielder in the backfield.

Agree. This kid's physicality is going to be a real treat to watch for ATL fans after Trufant. Seems like we have several guys in this class who will lay the wood.

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.

If I remember correctly, Chris Simms ranked Terrell ahead of Okudah

He did, because of speed. Had those three in Tier 1.  Also talked about Dabo putting that man on an island most of his career.

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. 

 

Firstly.

This.

I agree with the take the more and more games you watch of Terrell the better and better the pick looks.

To me if you look in amongst the division the pick tells a story and if you’ve listened to the messaging out of the Branch the pick makes even more sense.

I believe they’ll be in more of a press man/off man coverage type outside so you best be having DBs that can do the above mentioned outside.

Locking down the flats and the seams is crucial.Especially against the Aints and the Bucs the latter have very big WRers and what’s looking like a deadly combo at TE.A storms a brewing.Coverage is going to have to be tight against these guys and we saw what it could look like the end of last year.

Pass rush Jarrett Fowler and everyone else are going to have to be a lot better than it has been disguising of blitz’s will also play a part.Disguise is going to be big I’m actually glad Morris is our DC.

Thx, I just feel like sometimes we write guys off before they get a chance to prove themselves. I believe I may have jumped the gun so I don't mind being the first to say it. 

It doesn’t matter man. Ignore the hypocrites. Writing them off is no different than hyping them up. Two sides of the same coin. It’s a part of fandom.

I wanted the number 1 ranked LB prospect over the number 3-5 ranked CB prospect but never had any ill will towards Terrell. I like Terrell coming out more than I ever liked Trufant coming out and I’ll be dammed if I’m gonna let anyone else bad mouth our guy. He’s one of us now so we might as well support the heck out of him. 
 

You already know what’s gonna happen tho. Ppl would rather say he’s gonna bust so they can be “right ab him all along” cuz they need the confidence boost in life and want to prove they’re somehow smarter than a NFL GM so rather than accept AJ as one of ours they’ll root against him to prove a point. Classic TAFT

To further your point, I really do think he’s a better prospect than Tru was coming out. I had to force myself to like Trufant but I love AJ skill set way more. Terrell is the type of CB a lot of fans here like but don’t even realize it yet. Tru has never been the guy to really catch the ball AJ is. We’re gonna love him and the opportunities he gives our offense to win games!

The kinda play that can change the attitude of a defense.
