@NFLfan I picked exact same position or same player in DN draft for Packers, they're following same logic.. My picks for GB: Graham Barton Edgerrin Cooper Javon Bullard GB picks so far: Tyler Guyton Edgerrin Cooper Javon Bullard

calm down, take a joke, eat Snickers...

Good Ballard seems to be looking beyond these stuff... Ballard now seems destined to draft talents irrespective of flags, medical or others...

I'm very sorry I had this joke ready for Adonai Mitchell draft selection, for any team..

Colts Draft Adonai Mitchell and his daily insulin monitor guy.

Yeah, Speilman and Ballard should start podcast after Ballard's tenure in Indy... Like minded guys, both love free agent QBs , trading down, and building through draft mostly, sticking to a similar coach or scheme until it all goes down. Ballard has chance to deviate the course, he already did by drafting AR so maybe he'll do better.

I laughed silently at all the mock drafts, that trade back and get extra 3rd round draft pick... Like, many guys wanting MORE, MORE day 2 picks by trading Down. Let the reality sink in.. you get picks in the range 140+... Because, if a team tried to trade up, they'd give more. If Colts try to trade down, initiating the offer, the other team is gonna give their least favourite picks.

Lot of guys looked very nice and humble on podium, I liked how Odunze handled himself.. I also like the few guys in Green Room who congratulated every player being drafted, while they had to wait longer... Very few guys were doing that every time, and actually having fun in spite of not getting drafted (yet). Those are very good guys to have around the locker room.

Yeah, for sure... He's a head case (in a very subtle, silent manner), will create unnecessary headaches all his tenure.. The league year just started, and he's already started 2 issues: 1) revealed the tampering evidences - for which his camp is not sorry, but... 2) his camp is quick to let everyone know their displeasure on Falcons draft selection! These are unnecessary headaches that you don't want your franchise QB to make, just within 50 days of league year starting, still 100 days away from actual football. Then, Kirk wonders why "No One Like That?!" Meanwhile, Goff said trade to Detroit had been the biggest event of his career.. and I thought Goff would be a bust, he proved many wrong by his football play and not speaking a word about how he was hurt all these years, not shouting at Rams "You Like That?" After last year play-off win, etc., That's the sign of a matured QB. A classy, team oriented player focused only on winning for the current franchise, coaches and teammates... That's what you wanna see from your franchise QB! To your point, yes, as it is 4-year contract and lot of money tied, 2 years later would be a good starting point to move on.

You give Ton of advice but don't use it for yourself... How do you know I hate Cousins, you decide for yourself? Then you turn back asking similar question about Cousins? I supported Cousins even while knowing that his tape shows all the inconsistency, that will plague all his career.. you have only heard from me about Cousins maybe for 2 years but he's been Vikings QB for 6 years... Every time, you start this debate and you don't even get closer to my viewpoint, which if even I explain like 2 days back, you beat all around the point except about talking about the actual point (that Superman's analogy about how it feels like watching a QB when he plays for your team).. so, I will have to stop replying you whenever you pick-up this topic with me... Thankfully, Cousins is gone, can't wait for your predictions for Falcons go up in smoke this year and can't wait to hear about all the excuses (including Penix selection).. ha ha

Drinks probably, makes sense..

Kirk should understand it is part of team building. Even with Vikings, he saw other QBs as some kind of competition, and as insult to him. Funny he never got upset with not even going to conference championship, for example. That's part of the reason why he never wins big games.. he doesn't love the team, he lives himself and his pride more than anything. As well as he talks great about everything, his actions show He's all about himself all the time. Compare him to Matt Ryan for example, Ryan took everything with dignity and that comes from having team above himself, and even if he's benched he stood by their decisions by both words and actions. That includes not letting out statement from agent that he was a little confused or upset. I suspect Kirk will throw fits like he did in Washington when he loses his arm strength at he ages and his team starts to bench him. That will be a riot. As of now, he's a starter and he just has to keep his mouth shut (that includes any statement from his agent or his camp) and do his part in bringing success to the team, no matter what. This is a bad start to his Falcons tenure. As for Falcons drafting Penix, one great WR or defensive player may or may not make a big difference in the Big picture. Maybe, that shows they're happy they got Kirk and that alone makes them very close to winning division and qualifying for playoffs, so they are looking into future. Kirk should take it as a positive reflection on him for this year.

Great pick, congrats... Finally, a first round CB might work out well, and it would be perfect timing for this team.

Almost all the experts were projecting Dallas Turner to Falcons... So, it's funny Falcons took away Kirk from Vikings and gifted back Turner as well. I think Falcons have made good moves in free agency, picking an elite defensive player might help theoretically, but trust me, nothing will help Kirk unless he does his part in big plays, big games, big downs (sort of like the saying "God helps those who helps themselves") - that's exactly why elite QB money is thrown around, not to ask for a great all-around team surrounding him. And Kirk keeps getting Elite money without coming close to the production (not fantasy stats production). I think Falcons are looking tightly at the big picture, building a team for the future, looking two years ahead. We know Kirk's contract can be set aside in a couple of years, while eating tens of millions of dead cap hit and by the time they may be looking to complete the roster build.
