    How many Rookies will make a starting roll in 2023 ?

    Same as Hawkfan. But I would bet that it'll be closer to 4 by season's end. Expect to see the 4-5 range well represented if we're talking number of snaps relative to who starts on day 1. Young, Hall, Bradford and Charbonnet all look like they'll get close to 40% even if injuries don't factor...

    We DID consider AR…

    Yep, agreed. Totally agreed. Maybe. Here's my take. 1. I have a very strong sense than John understands special QB talent. And at #5 and #20 overall, we were in a position to really corner the trade market if one of these three were that caliber of player. We didn't. And I think it...

    Oluwatimi biggest steal in draft?

    There are plenty of candidates. If JSN reverts to 2011 form, he's the clubhouse leader. I liked the Bradford pick too, but in the interior not sure you're really able to be labeled a steal. When I think steal, I'm thinking Chris Carson in the 7th round, Sherman in the 5th or Dre Greenlaw in...

    Zach Charbonnet

    ZC gives us an element that we really didn't have. His top qualities are vision, balance and ability to get yards after contact. Among our RBs, it's really him and Dallas who are willing, even eager to run through an MFers face. He is an excellent 3rd down back, equally good at pass pro and...

    Would you be mad?

    Not mad at all. Ideally, we'd want to add to the defense. But drafts don't work that way. If you don't pick those players, who are you taking? This is kind of a weird draft. Outside of Will Anderson, there aren't a lot of really good "stud" defensive players. There are a lot of decent...

    Darnell Washington next to Abe Lucas?

    Love Laporta. Zack Kuntz too. Washington as well. There are really a ton of excellent TE prospects this class. There could be as many as 3 in R1 and these above aren't any of them. Probably the best class of TEs in 25 years or more. And probably 75% of them aren't just move TEs. They are...

    Richardson vs Levis

    A ton more. Mostly because Houston and Seattle would be competing for the same position. Whereas AZ moving down to #5 would largely put them in position to get the same player they'd select at #3. Houston, if they drop to 5 not only aren't getting the QB they want, but likely not getting Will...

    Make your bold draft prediction for the #5 pick

    Was actually just thinking this over the weekend. Pretty much outside Okung and Earl, every 1st round pick this FO ever selected has been a consensus day two guy. And really that goes for every pick not those two, regardless of how many teams called us after our reach to tell us they were...

    Dawand Jones OL Ohio st.

    He's almost a pure tackle. Size/length really put him on the edge. He's one of just a handful of unicorns in this draft (Anthony Richardson, Darnell Washington being the others). And yeah, I'm game.

    DL

    I don't see really any likelihood that Carter is taken in the top 12. Legal status aside, take a step back a bit. What team is going to want a player who while street racing with a teammate, witnesses him have a violent crash, then just .... drives away and hides. Leaving him there literally...

    What about Levis at 5?

    Short answer. Yes I don't, and never thought this would matter. I expected us to sign Geno as our hedge. Much in the same way we signed Flynn in 2012. Geno is a much better hedge though. The contract details aren't out yet. But the verbiage of 'can make 52M in the first calendar year' is...

    Rank the top 5 players (in order) you hope the Hawks select at #5

    My exact list. Might prefer Wilson over Anderson based purely on better athletic fit for 3-4. But basically this.
  13. Attyla the Hawk

    Darnell Washington next to Abe Lucas?

    Easily. Actually, I would expect teams to sit and wait on TEs. This class has probably no less than 10 guys who should be better prospects than Dissly was coming out. It's a really loaded class and particularly so with guys that are inline/blocking types. Deepest class I've seen probably...

    Yeah maybe. Especially if we pass on DE/DL at 5.

    Combine risers

    I'm loathe to pair Seattle with a first round CB or WR. We've had plenty of opportunities to pull the trigger and never have. I don't think that's a coincidence.

    A couple of interesting Linebackers (Jack Campbell and Nolan Smith)

    Campbell is not close to Urlacher. That's a very poor comp. But he did have very good tape. And his testing is encouraging. He isn't/wasn't the same class as Urlacher or Kuechly coming out. Actually, his testing comp is closer to Cody Barton. Still could sneak into late first round if...

    Combine risers

    I really liked Van Ness as a potential option at #20. He is an incredibly powerful player with an impressive bull rush, and the testing really rather surprised me. Akin to Will McDonald who has been saddled with athletic but too slight during the season but has come to Mobile and Indy showing...

    What would your general yearly draft stratagy be?

    Sure. Although it's not the magic black box one might assume it is. Aaron Curry was a much lauded 'NFL ready' pick. By some of the least astute analysts on the planet. Curry was a LB prospect who basically couldn't pass rush. Much (exactly even) in the same way there are still analysts...

    What would your general yearly draft stratagy be?

    If it's me: 1. R1 restricted to QB/LT/Pass rush end or a true unicorn at other position. If none, cycle the pick in trade. 2. Draft QBs nearly every year somewhere. Not only does this give the chance to reload at the premium position. But it also provides cap relief not having to pay a...

    Van Pran

    Pretty much my take as well. Also, this happens every year. It's kind of the part of the season where my favorite 2nd/3rd round guys start moving into the R1 range. And where guys that have been penciled in as 1st round guys from the beginning of the year start moving back to their proper...
