The Atlanta Falcons hadn’t picked in the top 5 of the NFL Draft since 2008. Then 2020 happened.
The misfortune abounded for many during that cursed calendar year, so the Falcons being downright stinky for a majority of the year shouldn’t have come as such a surprise. Finishing 4-12 is not something good teams do; there’s a reason the most prized NFL Draft prospects are there for the taking for the league’s worst teams. Parity rules the day.
You know how we got here; if you are a fan of this football team, you know the dire straits that flow through the rivers of Flowery Branch.
