Gun to head, if I had to say what happened to the Hawks in the first two days of the draft it was...
a) They wanted CJ Stroud or Anthony Richardson but they were gone
b) They wanted Will Anderson but he was gone
c) They couldn't or it wasn't worth it to them to trade up for one of them
d) They couldn't trade down because no one wanted to pay up for the #5 pick with those players gone
e) So they went BPA available from there on out
If I'm right about this, I admit to being disappointed with how it played out, but I thoroughly understand the logic behind what they did. So what I'm hoping for now is a sneaky-good-draft where we walk away with perhaps 4-5 potential starters, 1-2 future Pro-Bowl type players, and a few more players that stick around as depth guys and special teams players.
Just the way I see it. Forgive this thread if it seems redundant.
