I seriously want you to go through here and tell me who we were supposed to pick at any of these spots that would be "win now frontline starters" this season. I don't even have to agree with you, I just wanna know specifically who you would rather us have drafted.
If you can't tell us who you think would've been better players for us at every pick, not just 8, then quit cappin breh

I don't see the issue with investing in our trenches. Raheem just came from a team where he had Aaron Donald. He knows the importance of a disruptive interior.
He also saw what happens when your QB goes down. Zac Robinson knows the importance.
This team was a QB away from the playoffs last year. We don't have nearly as many holes as some of y'all saying.
No holes offensively. Wr#2 not as important with pitts. CB #2 will be a vet or Clark Phillips who was solid.
Dallas Turner and latu would have been cool, but they aren't game changers imo.

It’s rare that any team switches 4-3 to 3-4 and then doesn’t have to invest in DL for that scheme .

I can't wait to see these mofos eat their words. It's gonna be glorious 
-Again we won 7 games with essentially no QB play.
-We lost like 5 games by 7 points or less
-Built up the D-Line and got younger which was much needed
-Having a good pass rush automatically improves the secondary
-Got a young WR that I can guarantee you they are trying to make into the next Puka Nacua
Reasons why drafting Penix is great!!!
-----------------------------------------
1. You a damn fool if u think an Achilles injury is just something everybody can bounce back from. No QB = No chance
2. If it turns out Cousins is cooked cuz of his Achilles we're good
3. If Cousins does have a good season then the Falcons ain't picking in the top 15 and we're gonna be losing draft picks next year so we wouldn't be in a position to get his successor
4. Penix is the best pure passer in the draft

Laughing at you n*ggaz like “ha ha ha”
So why not prioritize that with the 8th pick in the draft? Why trade up to reach for a player (Orhorhoro) when you need more depth along the defense with better quality interior lineman who were available?

This team was not a QB away last year, stop it
The Minnesota loss
The Arizona loss
The Washington loss
The Titans loss
Those losses werent on the QB. Those were games the defense blew because nobody could make a stop. The Falcons as an organization were 7-10, yes better QB play would’ve helped throughout the season but the defense was awful late in the season
It’s two different issues
People beef with PenX at 8 is
Reach is relative on the DLs name who I’m not going to spell. Is he a reach relative to scheme? Possibly not. I doubt anyone has looked at it that deeply.
From winning the NFC South. We were definitely a QB away.

Based on where other players were graded it was a reach. Orhorohoro has all of the physical tools but he’s a project at this stage of his very young career, he’s only been playing football for like 5 years
