The analogy between the Draft of the NFL and Christmas never fails to seem right to me. Once a year, the teams have the opportunity to, depending on how they have “behaved” in the previous campaign, ask the gods of football a number of players on their wish lists. The only difference between the holiday and the NFL is that the teams that behave/perform worse have a better chance of picking who they want.
This year the Atlanta Falconsbehaving relatively well, have managed to obtain what for many is the best of the gifts that this might bring Draft: Sesame Robinson. Overflowing with talent, Robinson stands as “he” pick of some Atlanta Falcons who face next season with a dream offense. Without further ado, here are the new “toys” from the State of California team. Georgia.
Selections:
- Ronda 1, pick 8: Sesame Robinson, RB, Tennessee
- Ronda 2, pick 38: Matthew Bergeron, OT, Syracuse
- Ronda 3, pick 75: Zach Harrison, EDGE, Ohio State
- Ronda 4, pick 113: Clark Phillips, CB, Utah
- Ronda 7, pick 224: DeMarcco Hellams, S, Alabama
- Ronda 7, pick 225: Jovaughn White, AND, South Carolina
Ronda 1, pick 8: Bijan Robinson, RB, Tennessee
As I predicted a few lines ago, the first (and best) selection of the Draft of the Dirty Birds was a runningback. Sesame Robinson is considered, just as it was Pitts at the time, one of the best players of the present edition of Draft. His innate ability to run the ball and catch it made him the pick number 8, and first selection, of the Atlanta Falcons. Still, the decision to go with a running back with that pick suggests that perhaps, following all the free agency additions, the front office may have rushed. A running back It is not the best of choices if you are in a rebuilding process. something tells me that these Atlanta Falcons they believe that adding to Sesame seeds They can win the division. The bet has been total.
Besides, Ridder He will breathe easy now that he has a dreamy repertoire around him. Without a doubt, Robinson’s agility and instincts will make the red and black offense a nightmare. The illusion that is palpable in the fans is capital. Get on board the “Bijaneta”, it is regarding to leave and does not wait for the lagging passengers.
Ronda 2, pick 38: Matthew Bergeron, OT, Syracuse
In the second round of Draftlos Atlanta Falcons they took over the services of the Canadian Matthew Bergeron. Your profile is interesting. Born in Victoriavillea Canadian steppe town near Quebec, Bergeron He started his career with a bang. As freshmanstarted five of the twelve games of the 2019 season for the Orangebeing the only freshman in the last 20 years to play on the outside of the offensive line. From there, his ascent catapulted and he went on to protect the blind side of his QB the rest of the seasons.
He has an enviable physique: 2 meters tall, almost 0.85 cm span of arms, 144 kilos. Despite being the undisputed holder for the Orange, Bergeron meets the necessary requirements to fill the crater that the Falcons have in their offensive line: the left guard. Undoubtedly, the selection of Bergeron He comes to fill that gap and his ownership is practically decided, since he has no competition.
Ronda 3, pick 75: Zach Harrison, EDGE, Ohio State
And Matthew Bergeron is a physical marvel, the third pick of the Atlanta Falcons, Zach Harrisonis a rara avis of the nature. With the longest arms on record of any defensive lineman since the Combine 2014 (close to 36 inches), the one-time five-star prospect for the Buckeyes reaches the Dirty Birds following a collegiate career apart from the great records. Harrison has managed to reap 24 tackles for loss, 11 sacks4 fumbles forced throws and one interception over the span of his four-year career in Ohio State. Numbers that, in the end, seem to overshadow a stellar physical talent.
Its wingspan and height endow the Atlanta Falcons of size to the body of rushers of Atlanta who needed urgent help. Furthermore, with the advent of Calais Campbella player with a profile similar to Harrison, he buckeye You can learn in the shadow of one of the great defensive linemen of our era. Harrison It is a project for the future that, if it manages to marinate, might catapult the pass rushing of the Falcons.
Ronda 4, pick 113: Clark Phillips, CB, Utah
If previously we talked regarding players whose wingspan covered the sun, the fourth selection of the Atlanta Falcons it must be measured, by comparison, on a micro scale. Clark Phillipscollege player Utah, he stands around 1.75 meters tall and his proportions rival those desirable in the position. Still, his ability to playmaking it’s overwhelming. In her college career, she started all 31 games she played, recording nine interceptions, four of which she returned for. touchdown. According to Joe Marinoanalyst in TheDraftNewtwork, Phillips is one of the best defensive players in the promotion. Furthermore, he was named the best defensive player in the Pac-12 in 2022.
His stature makes it doubtful he can measure up to some of the biggest receivers in the league, but his athleticism and instincts make him an intriguing prospect. Atlanta, who has reinvigorated his secondary with players like Jeff Okudah o Jessie Bates, He complements the position with a great player of pure talent and an extreme competitive desire.
Ronda 7, picks 224-225: DeMarcco Hellams, S, Alabama; Jovaughn Gwyn, C, South Carolina (respective)
In the last round of Draftlos Atlanta Falcons they chose two players in a row with the picks 224 and 225. In the first selection they chose the versatile safety of Roll Tide, DeMarcco Hellams. The qualities of Hellam They reside, above all, in their ability to go down to the box and close small spaces to access the player who carries the ball. According to Lance Zierlein, analyst of the NFL, Hellam He can become a good backup and special teams player. It is in this second body where Hellams seems to provide the depth necessary for the Falcons win once more in that part of the game.
Immediately following choosing Hellams, Jovaughn White fell into the clutches of Dirty Birds. Despite becoming a force in the right guardits projection in Atlanta resides exclusively in its ability to convert itself into a center. His short stature (1.90 meters) makes his adaptation to the league practically unfeasible. Anyway, your good footwork it can facilitate its transfer to the center of the line. His best version occurs in the running game, a space where, perhaps, he might manage to join a rotation that does not have first swords. Undoubtedly, the efforts of Hellam y Gwyn will focus on achieving a place in the roster final.
