If you’re an NFL fan, and maybe especially a Falcons fan, you’ve had some enthusiastic draft takes over the years that have blown up in your face. We’ve all fallen in love with a player who didn’t pan out, griped loudly on the eternal archive of shame that is the internet about a future star we didn’t like at the time he was drafted, and so on.
Today’s question, as we gear up for another Falcons draft, is just this: What’s your favorite cold take, or strong draft opinion that simply didn’t pan out?
I’m most famous for the Glenn Dorsey over Matt Ryan take, of course, but I think the cold take that holds the most sway over me is the conviction that Peria Jerry was going to be good.
