We’re a poverty franchise, the fucking redditors could’ve done a better job building a team.
Taking a TE that high when, Jamar chase, micha, Devonta smith, Jaylen waddle, Penie Sewell, Patrick Surtain, were taking right after. Is why we will be a poverty franchise for decades
Then the following year taking the slowest wide receiver when our defense was ass and Garrett Wilson was on the board.
Then the following year taking a RB when we have an elite run game already, when arguably the best player in the draft is still on the board when historically we have had the worst pass rush in decades
Fuck my dad for making me watch this team and cursing me with being a falcons fan.
I still don’t mind the Bijan pick. If Allgeier was the lead back, we’d be even worse right now on offense with his 3.4 yds a carry average. In an ideal world, it would’ve gone:
-
Never hire Arthur Smith
-
2021: QB Justin Fields - have Matt mentor him for a year
-
2022: WR Garrett Wilson - better prospect and bank on the chemistry they had at Ohio State
-
2023: RB Bijan Robinson - keep surrounding the young QB with talent
Add in one of those TEs like LaPorta, and we would’ve been fine on offense. Then, similarly build the D via free agency and trades.
I mean if you’re gonna play hindsight then just trade a fourth for Deandre Swift, he’s like 90% of Bijan’s talent and then you can spend your top 10 pick on a more important position. But of course that’s exactly what the Eagles did because they’re much smarter than us and the best team in the league.
