Unless Dart,Milroe,Sanders fall to 27/28th i think they'll sit and wait to move up fewer places and keep more picks. Wouldn't even be shocked if the QB was Ewers,McCord or Howard in late 2 or 3rd round

Sanders to Steelers. Tomlin back in business.

If you look at the mocks during the season Banks was the top OT

In 2024, he was named First Team All-SEC and won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy and the Lombardi Award, as the best lineman in college football that year. Banks was also awarded the Outland Trophy, which is awarded to the best interior lineman in college football.


No issue with this pick at all, especially if it means i don't need to see Trevor Penning again. I'll be just as happy if they take a LG in the 2/3rd round

What a boring pick. I'd be flipping tables if it was Dennis Allen's pick but I'll trust the process with the new regime.
I've seen a few X posts saying that Banks will likely be LG. That'd be odd.

I guess they'll try the line ups in camp
The only reason you do that though will be if Penning at RT and Banks at LG is better than Banks at RT and Radunz at LG

I'd play Banks at LT and flip Fuaga to the RT spot. Kick Penning to LG and see if he can be a mauler and have a Mekhi Becton season.

Sanders is going to have a chip on his shoulder now, which is a plus. I just don't want to pay too much to trade up.

Yeah, but they gave up next year's first. I'm happy about that.

I’m late to the party but … not a sexy pick but SOLID.

Kellen Moore has already stated before you gotta start in the trenches.
What good is a QB if you don’t have time to throw it? The last thing I want to see is trotting Will Clapp out there if someone got injured.

Coach Moore’s offense starts with the offensive line.

Banks didn’t give many sacks at UT … playing against mostly SEC competition.

The Falcons just made a dumb trade giving up their 2026 1st round pick. Penix tore his ACL twice in college, Cousins could be washed or could be gone, and now the Falcons traded their 2026 first round pick. Its easy to see a scenario where the Falcons would pick #1 overall in 2026 with a journeyman backup starting at QB and now that would mean the Rams picking #1 overall. It could be us too, but the Falcons have big risk.

Atlanta got 2 of the 3 best edge rushers in the draft…lol

I was about to ask how the falcons got 2 picks in the 1st round.
BUT they got 2 solid defensive players. Rest of the teams on the board are desperate for defensive line or Lb's.

I’m on the other side of it. They will not be looking for a QB and with the defensive improvements they might be in the mid 20s next year.

The Failcants roster is looking much better than ours next season…at least on paper.

I just think Penix is an extreme risk. This is a guy who had 4 season ending injuries in a row in college at Indiana, then somehow put it together for 2 seasons at Washington. But this is a player who tore the same ACL twice and had two season ending should injuries. Maybe Penix is great, one year at a time. But also I feel there are high odds that he has another season ending injury.

And then with the Falcons drafting two edge rushers and trading up to get the second one, they have not invested in their offense, which was mediocre. This puts Penix in the position of having to create a lot. That could lead to mistakes his first full year in the pros.

It's still the FailClowns at the end of the day. The coach stinks, like he did in Tampon.

Barring injuries, we're set at OT for the next ten years, hopefully more.

He's not Ed Reed, but not many are. Great pick for them. Ravens always pick solid defensive players. I've been jealous of most LB and safety picks they've made over the years. Is Ozzie Newsome still in their front office?
