This position has needed an overhaul for years, probably since John Abraham was in town. The Falcons still have some cap space to work with up to this point, as we’ve only spent $62 million. I also plan on using multiple draft picks to address the position. All figures are via Over The Cap. If
We’re finally to the part of the series a lot of folks have been waiting for — the defensive trenches. So far, we’ve used about $40 million of the $90 million the Falcons should be near in terms of cap space. There’s still plenty of picks to use on the defense as well, so let’s
When the Falcons finally get some cap space to improve what has historically been a bad offensive line, the unit has one of their best seasons as a whole in years. Chris Lindstrom should be an All-Pro, and Kaleb McGary has really cranked up his play in a contract year. Even Elijah Wilkinson has been
John Collins has been involved in multiple trade rumors, so naturally, fans and media have been throwing him in trade hypotheticals: Here’s the deal Bleacher Report posed involving Collins: Los Angeles Lakers Receive: Myles Turner and Bogdan Bogdanović Atlanta Hawks Receive: Bojan Bogdanović, Buddy Hield and Alec Burks Detroit Pistons Receive: John Collins, Jalen Johnson and Max Christie
The Falcons are in an interesting spot with the tight end position in 2023. Kyle Pitts will be back, and they got good production out of some impending free agents. Arthur Smith loves tight ends, but I don’t think they need to allocate a ton of resources to the position. We spent some big money
In some good news for Falcons fans, Atlanta is interviewing former Bears defensive coordinator and Broncos head coach Vic Fangio for their defensive coordinator opening: The #Falcons are interviewing long-time respected defensive coordinator Vic Fangio for their vacant DC job today, sources say. The former #Broncos head coach served as defensive consultant with the #Eagles
The Braves have experienced a lot of success in recent years because of player development but also due to some savvy trades that have shipped off many of their top prospects. Eventually, they were going to have to pay the price for those trades. According to Baseball America, they don’t have a Top 100 prospect
In a bit of good news for Kirby Smart and his staff, their second leading receiver Ladd McConkey will be returning for another year in Athens in search of a three-peat: Ladd McConkey coming back to Georgia for his redshirt junior year. pic.twitter.com/ERjeBWEmfG — Seth Emerson (@SethWEmerson) January 18, 2023 McConkey had the second most
Unlike our two previous editions, this position has some movement. Wide receiver is an area that REALLY needs an overhaul, especially after trading Calvin Ridley. Outside of Drake London, there isn’t much here. Will the Falcons consider keeping some of their own impending free agents? I think so, but how many will be the question.
The Hawks are at a crossroads right now, and I don’t think they have an identity. However, the Athletic has a few interesting choices for them in a way-too-early mock draft: Outside of the top two selections — which seem relatively set in stone with Victor Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson — this NBA Draft class
