Atlanta gave everyone a double take with some of their picks, but one thing is for sure, they are wanting to win now and for the future. Michael Penix Jr. was the first huge head shaker for some, but they strengthened their QB room and made sure they had the future QB with next year’s class being very weak based on many analyst reports. Clemson DT Ruke Orhorhoro was the next pick that had some scratching their heads, but he is a like DT Grady Jarrett in work ethic and play on the field. The draft has now been done and undrafted free agents are being brought in, so we will keep you posted with what has been a huge year for the Falcons.
