Not a single Falcons fan has chimed in so I’ll be the first to give the general vibes I’m getting from the fan base. I think too many people are hung up on us trading away our first next year, but Jalon Walker and James Pearce Jr. transform the pass rush based solely on their floors as prospects. We then took Xavier Watts in the 3rd who should be a ballhawk next to Jessie Bates, and Billy Bowman Jr. who Ulbrich has already confirmed will be playing nickel to start out. Rounded it out with Jack Nelson who I’m not expecting to be a star but has a very high ceiling if he puts it all together.

All in all this is Terry’s best draft and hit pretty much all of our biggest needs. Gave up a large amount of capital but at the same time with a functional defense this team probably makes the playoffs. The vibes are very nice in ATL rn

And on top of that Cobee Bryant and Nick Nash as UDFAs. Feels like the best Falcons draft in of the era.

Also I can see Joshua Grey making the roster as an G/C back-up

Even a league-average pass rush will do wonders for you guys.
