Will the Falcons' 2026 draft be heavy on meat and potatoes or will it hit the table with flash, sizzle, and smoke?
@falcfans.bsky.social breaks down how the team will reveal their estimation of this class and their mantra in the days ahead

I wrote about what might be the most stacked group of players in this year's draft: the kick/punt returners.
Touched on the growth of returns in the NFL and why the immediate impact of these returners shouldn't be overlooked.

Ironclad logic
Adam Schefter reports teams are expected to have interest in Kyle Pitts, and the Falcons have signaled they'll listen to offers. Could Pitts be moved?
Our guess is no, because no offer's going to be that compelling, but we'll know soon enough

I'd really need to see video of this incident to know whether these are legit misdemeanor charges or if it's law enforcement overreach. The "smirked" in the police report tells me it's almost certainly the latter.
GOOD MORNING.
The 2026 EDSBS Charity Bowl is now live.

Which prospects fit this Falcons team best, and who can they realistically get with their dearth of picks? @dougfarrar.bsky.social went deep on the prospects who make a ton of sense for Atlanta's new regime

We've got 25 of the team's top 30 visits accounted for and dozens of other visits and reported interest here in the tracker, if you've been looking for that

In the latest episode of the show, @falcoholickevin.bsky.social talks with Thor Nystrom about Atlanta's draft strategy and who they might be targeting next week

In the moment a bunch of these decisions made sense and some were even exciting, but now...
Feels like the Falcons just liked Smith as a fit better than Ruke, and vice versa. Two teams that had very different power structures when they made those picks hoping for the healing power of the vaunted change of scenery
Honestly this trade is a wash for both sides. Ruke gives the Jags flexibility in the draft when it comes to adding DT depth, Maason Smith gets a fresh start
Feels to me like they're trading upside for (what they probably view as) a higher floor player with a little more size, unless they simply soured on Orhorhoro for other reasons.
Weird timing
Atlanta had 8 picks in 2024, 3 are no longer on the team (Orhorhoro, McClellan, Louge). 1 has never taken a snap due to injury (Trice). Washington and Bertrand are likely on the bubble this year. Penix hasn’t proven he’s the guy. Dorlus is the only success story. Brutal.
Per @adamschefter-mirror.bluesky.bot, the Falcons just swapped Ruke Orhorhoro for Jaguars DL Maason Smith, trading one 2024 second rounder on the defensive interior for another in what we have to assume is a fit-related move

Luther Davis, who played college football at Alabama, allegedly impersonated Michael Penix, Xavier McKinney, and David Njoku in a multimillion dollar loan scam. Davis allegedly showed up at the loan closings in disguises that included makeup and wigs.
My monthly roundtable is up with my guys breaking down prospects and looking at positional groups
You're going to be stunned looking at his line 7/10 times, you're just never sure whether that's a good or bad stunned
Nails the Falcons capsule, it's about proving the new regime isn't going to get too itchy
Join @allenstrk.bsky.social, @falcoholickevin.bsky.social, and @treshon.io as they tackle some of the big questions leading up to the Falcons' 2026 draft and debate prospects persistently linked to Atlanta

On tonight's show, Joe Patrick joined @falcoholickevin.bsky.social and Adnan Ikic for a live seven round mock draft. Soak it in and get ready for the real thing, which is somehow only a week away

I think we gotta see Stefanski actually coach this team before we get too high or low on him
An impossible task, maybe, but @falcoholickevin.bsky.social has tried to fix the Falcons with just five picks in his latest mock draft

Bring me the most athletic long snapper of all-time
Amen!
