Round Two Draft Press Conference | Atlanta Falcons 

Super Happy with the draft so far. I don’t care what everyone else says. This shows me ATL has a plan and they are sticking with their vision. RISEUP!! 🙏

People complaining about not getting the players they know need to chill. Zach Harrison who was considered an ok pick last year had 3 sacks which is more than what Jermaine Johnson got his first season and more than what Nolan Smith and Nakobe Dean have got combined in the last 2 seasons. I’m not saying 3 sacks is good but we don’t know whether a pick is good until the guy has played atleast 3 seasons in the nfl. Apparently eagles who won the draft last year and their d line was looking unstoppable ended up getting the same number of sacks as the falcons. Teams that so called analysts think won the draft seldom win in regular season. So let a couple seasons play out before voicing your opinion on a draft class

Love Terry! A true leader & demonstrates incredible leadership. He's not sitting back quiet, letting Raheem take all the heat.

Keep playing chess gentlemen. Y’all keep on rockin with Mel Kiper, riding with the general public, and coming up with conspiracy theories. Meanwhile I’ll side with the guys that have almost 40 years of experience in this league combined. Everybody thinks they know something these days, let’s see what’s crackin on Sundays though. Rise TF Up or get left behind!!

Falcons fans only understand BPA or players they know the name of we really got sum good pieces today

Loyal fans only❤🖤love the moves guys

The outsiders don’t matter .. it’s the falcons against the world. Rise up 🦅 6:42

Successful 2nd and 3rd round. Lets gooo atlanta

DONT WORRY ABOUT OUR FALCONS WORRY ABOUT YOUR TEAM😩🤣🤣🤣 CAUSE YALL HAVE TO SEE US🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⚔️

Great cooking

Terry is oroving himself to be an extraordinary GM for us.

I'm happy with our picks! Lets get another one today in the last day of the draft and go to work

My guy Terry is getting jacked

Im glad yall are addressing the D line now. I wasn’t excited about the Penix pick but it is what it is of course we want him to succeed even if we get to see him play in two to three years. It will be like having 2 first rounders the year he does play I guess.

To reporter: "My Wife asked me the same question last night." That was great. 🤣 -Terry Fontenot

Our Def. Coordinator is not playing games...cant wait to see who we get at SS.

SO GLAD WE HAVE 2 QBS LAST 3 SEASONS HORRIBLE

Let's Go Falcons 🔥 🔥

y’all made me proud today 🤝🏾

Nice draft so far!

raheem couldnt sleep after that pick lmaooo

They are cooking Ruke is a beast

Love the trice choice

I just hope we win the division

Blank should of fired Terry whenever he sent Smith packing and hired HC & GM same time

No food left is hilarious 😂😂😂

Rise up 🦅. We are looking good👏🏾👏🏾 .. our O is stacked .. keep finding more big and stronge Defense players and coach them up 1:07

Draft a CB, OL and sign a veteran free agent CB

Loving all the opinions from the amature scouts in here that did their research at sports bars all year. I'll stick to the professionals takes on this one. Thanks.

Coulda got Dejean to replace grant 😭

Get Troy Franklin or TJ Tampa or Cam Hart in Rd 4 please 🙏

Falcons aren't gunna land manning next year, so penix is best qb prospect in next 2 yrs

The reports asking the same questions can we get some better coverage

Best draft in a long time so far. Terrible free agency.

Get Over It! 💪🖤🖤🖤🏹 😉Smile

😅😅 "Led don't get to make those decisions " 😂😂

I’m sure DLed is probably the nicest, most humble, invite you to the cookout if you kind of person there could ever be, but damnnnn I hate when he talks even if he’s asking pertinent questions lmao

These mofo's really hate the fact that we have Penix thought it was bad last year with Bijan but its worst this year. Ain't we suppose be talking about day 2. They still on day 1

Mr. Blank your GM was absolutely right for drafting Michael Penix Jr at number 8 in the first round. Michael Penix Jr throws the football in tight coverage more accurately that any quarterback I have seen. Mr. Blank you just got the best quarterback in the 2024 draft. Get some good offensive linemen and you are going to go back and thank your GM for drafting Michael Penix Jr.

Terry should be working at a dollar general. As a general manager.

I’m so proud of this organization making decisions for the now and the long run. Great job, I just hope fan understand MPJ is not to start this year …. Future investment.

Had enough of all the GM+ Coach pretenders with their mocks and complaining. They don't know these players. They don't have scouts all over the country feeding them enfo. Save your judgement until you see this team play on the field! I bet we don't lose 10 games again. RISE UP!!!!!!!

We can’t afford to give up 3rd round picks on a player rated in the 3rd round. We could’ve gotten a good corner there.we could’ve gotten 2 good 3rd players instead of one.

What about Corner and Safety?

Loved the Penix pick if we didn't have Kirk. Felt like we could have waited on Ohro. Liked the 3rd round pick. It's been such a confusing draft

This is a great draft so far I never doubted any picks post Super Bowl fans are trash

If you have to keep justifying your first pick on every press conference then you didnt make a good pick

Also please 🙏 trade for Trey Hendrickson or sign Yannick Ngakouwe. Still need more juice at Edge

Kinda wanted us to take Polk with that pick that would’ve been a great pick as well

Terry still works for the saints

They didn't even need to trade up to get Ruke, he would've still been there lmfao. Sorry but TF never made the picks before this year and you can definitely tell.

Get TJ TAMPA TODAY

Go Ruke!!!

Now let’s make TJ Tampa happen! I don’t think he makes it to 109 though so … might need to trade up and get him

I always hold back judgment and remain optimistic. Most of the armchair gm' s on tv and in the comments are not privied to 1% of the info the teams gathered. Spare me the grading and hand ringing. No one knows how these picks will pan out. Rise up

Terry will never move back into the first round

MPJ and Cuz and a 6th round pic….Over J Fields and Rome U….it’s kind of wild im not a gm but they are Re

Who?

16:32

good draft NOT!!!!

My God, I just thought of this Duo Drake London & Brenden Rice with Cousins. And we will get help from the refs because it’s Jerry rice son lol

You traded up to take a guy you could have waited on?

Kirk tore his Achilles in October last year and is expected to play in the first regular season game in September. I don't care who you are it takes at least 2 years to come back 100 percent hes gonna come back at 70 percent at best like Rodgers. So unless yall wanted to deal with a zach wilson situation like the jets did last year stop complaining. The D line was addressed in this round and we picked up a guy who led college football in QB pressures in back to back years and a soild run stopper who could develop his pass rush game. Grady didn't coming into the league being the best pass rushers he developed that. Have some faith man

I'm Terry & Rah we trust

These guys genuinely acting like they did not just make two of the worst pick you have ever seen (not the players how and when they got picked)! “We won’t reach” bs Hope Arthur is regretting not taking Bill now

Arthur blanc you are on count down to sell the team. We need new ownership, management and scouts for our team.

At this point as position goes this is exactly how Morris drafted his first year as HC at TB 😂

It really bugs me that they move up to take someone that would’ve been there and they gave up a 3rd round pick that could’ve gotten Tykee Smith but now he’s in Tampa also why not take some Dawgs why do we keep not drafting from the greatest college team it bugs me every time they pass up on a Dawg they could’ve gotten Kamari or Bullard but nope we move up to get another DT which we already have two great players there. If you look at the experts the Falcons got a C on both days the only team to do so!! I’m scratching my head with the second round handling! Hope day 3 we can get some Dawgs and get an A and not fail the entire draft! Maybe I don’t know about these guys but we will see it just bugs me that they over reach for a guy when they could’ve added another guy in the 3rd hopefully I’m wrong though!

Did the Falcons find the only 20 people in Atlanta that think that first round pick was good to comment on this ? I can’t even pay attention to the other picks. We have the only failing draft grade in the NFL. Every other team tied for 1st. We really cannot be taken seriously. Holy cow. Somebody over there is smoking crack.

I wasn't happy with penix but if it makes us better do it

This is how they sounded about ridder too. So I’m not confident in this draft.

Terry is microwaving

Draft Marcus Rosemy Jack Saint he is a great WR 2 with reliable hands and a good blocker

In Terry I trust!

People who complain about the picks just don’t understand football.

Step 1: Butcher First Pick... Step 2: REPEAT,.. but embarrass yourself more by Trading Up for a guy you could have had at #43 and not taking the guy who Dropped,..lol~ Only a Falcons Fan can rationalize what the rest of the League is laughing their azzes off at~lol

Falcons wanna win later not soon 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Falcons EOS?

Hey, at least we got 2 players that can actually play this year.

Another stupid pick we need a o-line, edge, and linebacker. Wtf.

jonah ellis hurts

Sooo many goofies in this comment section lol.

Fontenot you are a joke. You pay Cousins to win now and you go use your first round pick for a QB that is NOT gonig to help you win now. This ownership just wants a quality team on the field, he is not wanting championships. I even heard him say this with his own lips, he said "the goal is to put a quality team on the field. He said this last year and then he caught himself and said and a superbowl, but that was not what he said first. Winning a superbowl should be the only thing he speaks about. A quality team on the field???!!! are you kidding me Arthur Blank. Please sell this team

What Terry and Raheem said about being aggressive after picking a future QB at 8…it doesn’t make any sense at all. They should’ve picked Turner or Latu AND thereafter trade up for a future QB

embarrasing clownshow ;)

Can’t stand Terry. These aggressive trade ups are awful. If you’re trading up, it should have been Newton or Kool-Aid. Why give up 79 for a guy who will 99.9999% be there at 43? I like Ruke but it seems like Terry is making these picks to try and appear smart or make a name for himself, but he just looks stupid.

What a joke of a team. The Falcons is nothing more than a bad meme.

We wasted a draft pick unnecessarily.

These two men are the biggest joke in the league. Raheem Morris is horrible. His first speech to the team sounded so vanilla and uninspiring. He is what is record says he is, a loser. And this Fontenot joke of a GM should not be a GM at all. He is at best a equipment manager!! I am not just running my mouth, you all fans and the city will see. They maybe slightly better this year but they are a long ways from competing in the Superbowl. It will never happen with Arthur Blank. I can not believe at how incompetent this group is.

These 2 will be fired more than likely after this upcoming season . Blank is a clueless owner to hire these two .

I miss author smith
