Tight end is going to be an interesting position for the Falcons going into the offseason. They have Kyle Pitts, but the Falcons still need weapons. Additionally, John FitzPatrick should be healthy going into his second season out of Georgia. I expect MyCole Pruitt and Parker Hesse to be back after solid 2022 seasons. There
Finally, we get to a position the Falcons could actually spend on this offseason. Outside of Drake London, there isn’t much in the room. Calvin Ridley has been traded, and nobody else is worth keeping on a big contract. With money to spend, the Falcons could make something happen here. I wouldn’t hold my breath;
The series rolls on! We’ve already covered quarterbacks, so let’s move on to the backfield. This is actually one of the stronger positions on the Falcons, but this is still a pretty stacked draft class. Tyler Allgeier has been a breakout rookie, and Cordarrelle Patterson is one of the best players on the team. Unfortunately,
After Dansby Swanson signed with the Chicago Cubs, the Braves are set to receive a boost to their farm system, which is probably the worst in baseball right now. The Braves are likely to receive a compensation pick in the first round for losing Swanson’s services after tendering him a qualifying offer, and should net
Mark Bowman recently did a mailbag and talked about some of the pieces the Braves could potentially use in a Bryan Reynolds trade: I wrote about Dansby’s departure within this week’s newsletter https://t.co/1Zo9Rch579 — Mark Bowman (@mlbbowman) December 23, 2022 Bow makes some really good points about tempering expectations for Reynolds. Here’s what he had
It’s no secret the Braves have tried to move on from Marcell Ozuna. There’s too many factors at play, not only was he not producing on the field, he was causing problems off the field and has a massive contract. GM Alex Anthopoulos tried to remedy that issue… twice. Mark Bowman talked about it in
Jonathan Mayo of MLB Pipeline did a mailbag this week, and a question about the abysmal Braves farm system was asked: Do the @Braves have any prospects close to the Top 100?@JonathanMayo takes a look in the latest Pipeline Inbox: https://t.co/1L6iIwt2d0 pic.twitter.com/b0v4kWJCtA — MLB Pipeline (@MLBPipeline) December 21, 2022 Here’s what Mayo had to say:
Kirby Smart has been a strong recruiter ever since he stepped foot in Athens. One of the most impressive things he has done is getting guys on campus early for bowl practice as early enrollees. Smart is bringing in another fantastic class, and is looking at a top two finish in recruiting: ESPN 300 recruits
After getting the signature from Rara Thomas earlier today, Kirby Smart has dipped into the portal for another receiver — Missouri’s Dominic Lovett. This gives Georgia the #1 and #2 receivers in the transfer portal: https://twitter.com/DominicLovett2/status/1606063991075311619?s=20&t=Eii-VsqrVlqXwHzqzYYZbA https://twitter.com/TT7Productions/status/1603135254918725632?s=20&t=Eii-VsqrVlqXwHzqzYYZbA Lovett is a very skilled receiver; he runs crisp routes and can get off the line quickly.

Right after losing Arik Gilbert to the transfer portal, Georgia adds another weapon in the form of Mississippi State transfer Rara Thomas: https://twitter.com/Rarathomas_/status/1605997447259398145?s=20&t=GqoFdTdAoTEh3X6JSHGZ9A Thomas was a big time deep threat in Mike Leach’s offense, averaging 14.2 yards per catch and hauling in seven touchdowns. At 6’2 and 200 pounds, the sophomore provides a lot of
