In the NFL, no club is flawless. Nonetheless, some people build teams considerably worse than others. Additionally, observing a team’s draft process can provide you with a wealth of information on how they manage their team. What does that mean for the Falcons in the NFL Draft of 2024, then?Based on the way things appear, Raheem Morris’ debut season as the Falcons’ head coach should be fascinating. Four years ago, the former defensive coordinator for the Falcons wasn’t exactly the top choice among fans, especially since future Hall of Famer Bill Belichick was interviewing for the position. With their efforts during free agency, Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot swiftly calmed Falcons supporters. They acted quickly to acquire quarterback Kirk Cousins, who will ultimately play a significant role in the Morris era in Atlanta. Morris’ tenure was off to a more promising start than anticipated, along with a couple more purchases. The draft did, however, eventually arrive. And now, the franchise’s validity is being called into doubt once more. Having said that, let’s examine the most significant errors the Falcons committed in the NFL Draft of 2024. Michael Penix Jr. is drafted at No. 8 overall.Shall we begin with the most apparent first? Everyone was taken aback by the Falcons’ choice to select Penix with their first-round pick at No. 8 overall, surprising observers from Chicago to Flowery Branch, Georgia. This is due to the fact that this was initially one of the most shocking selections in NFL history. It is multidimensional, though. Kirk Cousins was available for free agency; thus, Morris and Fontenot made the right choice. However, they may regret it in the long run because of alleged tampering issues (more on this later). Since it has been the biggest gap, the Falcons automatically upgraded their starting quarterback from the previous three seasons. That essentially forced the Falcons to pursue a prominent pass rusher at last, something they had not done in the previous few years. However, since this is Atlanta, it wouldn’t have been remarkable if the team had selected wide receiver Rome Odunze, who was selected by the Chicago Bears with the ninth overall pick. Was there really a need for it? […]
In order to address issues and plug gaps on their roster, a number of teams used the 2024 NFL Draft; some of them selected possible future starters in multiple rounds. Here are five guys that might likely lose their starting positions to rookies this season now that the draft has officially concluded. Green Bay Packers’ OT Rasheed Walker Jordan Morgan, the rookie According to Pro Football Focus, Walker played 966 snaps at left tackle in the previous season, giving up six sacks, 36 pressures, and 24 hurries. Among offensive lineman for the Packers, he gave up the most sacks and the second-most pressures and hurries. At Arizona, the 320-pound, 6-foot-6 Morgan played roughly 2,500 snaps at left tackle, giving up just 10 sacks in five seasons and just one instance of more than 20 pressures. Morgan might contend for Green Bay’s starting left guard role if he has a strong camp and preseason performance. C.J. Gardner-Johnson, S. Eagles of the Philadelphia First-timer Cooper DeJean In 2023, Gardner-Johnson’s torn pectoral muscle kept him from playing in only three games. Gardner-Johnson was one of the best safeties in the NFL in 2022 before his injury, and his love of smack talk helped him dominate against rival receivers. Though he is returning off a significant injury, he will need to stave off a motivated rookie who is probably feeling left out after starting the season as a predicted top-20 pick and dropping to Round 2. DeJean is a dynamic player with outstanding ball-tracking abilities and a strong zone coverage game. Gardner-Johnson has expressed his willingness to switch from cornerback to safety, a position he has played. However, with third-year safety Reed Blankenship securing Philly’s other spot, Gardner-Johnson may be passed over by the new guard. Atlanta Falcons DT David Onyemata Ruke Orhorhoro and Brandon Dorlus are the rookies. The Falcons have struggled recently to get to the quarterback, so they used three of their first four selections on front-seven players. With Calais Campbell gone, Atlanta’s senior defensive tackle, Onyemata, is now the team’s starting defensive tackle. He might not want to settle in too much, though, as Dorlus and Orhorhoro were both highly regarded prospects who might have gone late in the first round. Dorlus led Oregon in pressures (46), hurries (35) and sacks (five), and Orhorhoro contributed well to Clemson’s run defence with five sacks of his own. Josh Downs, Wide Receiver with the Colts Adonai Mitchell, rookie […]
Adam Peters, like the majority of Illinois supporters, was baffled by Johnny Newton’s escape from the first round. The general manager of the Washington Commanders, Peters, was so concerned about Newton not going to his club, which had the fifth pick in the second round, going into Day Two of the NFL Draft. In fact, he was so concerned that he thought about trading up a few spots to get the standout defensive lineman from Illinois. “We were amazed he remained there,” Peters said to reporters on Friday evening. “At 36, we were a little worried he wouldn’t make it to us. We considered going after him higher up. Quite unexpected. He received a first-round grade from us. Although most people had Newton ranked as a first-round draft pick, the two-time All-American was surprised to hear his name called later in the day. But on Friday night, Peters put in his name to be chosen at selection No. 36, so his wait was short. After an offensive-heavy first round, Newton was the 11th defender taken and the third defensive tackle chosen overall behind Clemson’s Rude Orhorhoro (No. 35 overall) and Texas’ Byron Murphy II (No. 16 overall). Throughout the previous two seasons, Newton recorded the most pressures (103) of any Power Five interior defensive lineman. His 52 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks, and nine quarterback hurries during the previous season made him a unanimous selection for the First Team All-American, Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, and Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year. Peters described him as “an explosive, violent player.” “He leads the team. We want to bring him into the building, and he has the commander tag. We believe him to be a skilled player. He may start playing straight away immediately. A three-down player, actually. He’s a capable player on pass and rundown plays. competent. […]
