    Appreciate the highlights with the discussion.
  • @owenoseroff
    I would love to see ATL draft Ladd Mcconkey as the 3rd wide receiver!
  • @llAGreenll
    Mooney gonna be in the tutu atwell/jordan Addison role for the falcons. Can’t wait to watch
  • @JimmyRay7159
    i love it, getting back to the shanahan style offense
  • @TheJuy256
    Great vid! Looking forward to seeing a “Why the Bengals signed Zach Moss”
  • @RoyalJester27
    I can see mooney being our slot guy like Tyler Gabriel was. He is so quick and fast. Throw the quick out let 1 or 2 throw a block or have a lineman pull out and block and let him run.
  • @NPCutups
    Awesome video! I love listening to you guys talk about the moves and being able to watch the A22 at the same time.
  • @ericniesen1775
    Really enjoyed the hypothetical conversation about who the best 3rd WR in this offense would be from a schematic standpoint. Like you both said Mooney isn't incredible but he provides solid speed, spacing and hands for an accurate passer like Kirk. Not a Falcons fan but Keon Coleman to Atlanta in the 2nd would be money. Keeps up both themes of 'plus size' and 'plus versatility' in this offense. Mooney would be the exception to the size rule but this offense needs a 'clearout' guy really bad.
  • @KRKimberly
    Imo Latu is the best EDGE in the draft. He had way more production than Turner. I hope they don’t fall in love with Turner’s combine
  • @PRich-ph9ue
    We still need about 2 more solid receiving options
  • Darnell Mooney made 3x the guaranteed money of 200+ touch RBs. WILD TIMES BOYS!
  • @GrassDay-LLC
    Here to tell you it probably wasn't personal when Mooney was not made a pass attempt to by Fields. Ever noticed what happens to JF after he is forced to look past the first progression?
  • @conleyjoiner2961
    We have to get one more guy with the second round pick and i think ladd would be perfect.
  • @chriscarter1788
    Bear fan here, Mooney is a solid wr. Justin was the reason Mooney numbers dropped. Plus Ryan Pace drafted him in Chicago.
  • @barbarino2000
    Bear fan. I always liked Mooney. He can make the difficult catch. He needs more balls!
  • @stayreal1127
    We still need to draft at least 2 more receivers. I like this draft of wr
