Locked On Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons have had plenty of misses over the years in the NFL Draft, but host Aaron Freeman breaks down his biggest ones. He discusses how he wound up too low on players like Foye Oluokun, Russell Gage, Grady Jarrett, and Desmond Trufant over the years. Later, he discusses some lessons he's learned over the past six years of doing floor, ceiling, and eye-level comparisons for Falcons draft picks. He discusses how less than half of the Falcons draft picks reach their eye levels, and an even smaller percentage reach their ceilings to discuss how relatively rare development is even in the NFL. His review of his draft evaluations also reveals that the Falcons have done a subpar job developing Day 2 selections since 2016, which may be a major contributor to the team's ongoing six-year playoff drought. Finally, he answers a pair of listener questions on whether or not Bijan Robinson will return kickoffs this year and whether Michael Vick or Lamar Jackson would win in a footrace. Falcons Draft Picks Floors
