They do have several pitchers worth getting excited about, headlined by AJ Smith-Shawver and Hurston Waldrep, but the position players leave a lot to be desired. An argument could be made that there is only one position player in the entire Braves farm system right
The NFL Draft just ended, but as I always say this time of year, draft geeks have no offseason. They are already busy cooking up mock drafts for 2025. If the season goes to plan, the Falcons won’t be picking anywhere close to the top 10 again. At least, that was the way Terry Fontenot
The Falcons set their sights on Michael Penix Jr, and they didn’t feel like they could afford to trade out of the 8th pick and still land their quarterback of the future. A lot can be said about the selection, but this thought process is right. If you find a quarterback you love, you don’t

The Braves own MLB’s best record at 19-8 and have won 11 of their last 14 games. There’s not much to complain about in Atlanta, but slow starts from their superstars are somewhat alarming. Individually, it’s quite normal for Ronald Acuna Jr. Matt Olson, or Austin Riley to experience a lengthy slump. That’s the name
There might not be a more influential athlete in Atlanta sports history than Michael Vick. The former Falcons quarterback was drafted #1 overall and quickly became a national icon for athletes everywhere. There wasn’t a kid growing up in the United States that didn’t want to be like Mike, capable of flipping a game on
The Falcons did the unthinkable with their first-round selection last Thursday, taking quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the 8th overall pick.
