As GM Lynch said, it is going to be pretty boring tomorrow for us.

That said, I feel bad, kinda, for the Falcons. For years they have needed a difference making edge, but they never suck bad enough for a top 5 pick. Jax, Det, Hou, both NY teams are candidates to draft edge.

Admittedly haven't followed closely because of no 1st for the next 2 years. I'm hopeful that we draft at least 1 player that develops into a good starter.

I don't feel bad for the Falcons...they've had a franchise QB for 13 years and filling his shoes is their biggest problem. Good luck with Mariota.

The only thing I'm suprised about was a team not trading up to at least get him on a 5th year option other than that I wasn't to big on Willis coming into the draft and today only affirmed what everyone knew that this was a weak qb class
Walker gong number 1 was so weird i thought that was a pretty major reach tbh

Baalke. QED.
Eagles, jets, giants are clear winners to me. I think the Ravens draft is being severely overrated

Good point guys often fall for a reason you could be correct.

I love Olave so Saints get a good grade in my book so far

It worked (kinda) with Aldon Smith. I think Walkers stats weren't great because of what they asked him to do. I think he will be a better pro than a college player. Still a risky pick.

Tavon Walker was there for 3 years and still had less sacks than Aldon smith in his freshman season

His colllege career production is a single year stat line for most day 1 and 2 picks

also i would say it did work with Aldon he was a great to elite player on the field. He had his own off the field issues which is almost impossible to detect in pre draft process because it wasnt exactly character based it was addiction based
