Any updates? I figured we'd have cut Rooks by now.

that, and really just thinking through what i posted earlier... it has to be because we want to control his rights for 4 years if we are going to develop him... a smart move for a developmental prospect at a position that could have such a big impact for us...

I hope Tavon is reading this right now. Could be a high point for him!
Would hate to know he missed it.

We were gonna use it to get a center but Chad ruined it.

I'm late to the party but this pick was fricking GENIUS. Loomis is th fricking man. He dominated ULLs defensive ends when we played them.

Dude will be starting by the end of the year. Book it.

Y'all are all fricktards for doubting Loomis

Rooks can get confused w Cooks on the field, drew might throw to the wrong ooks

We do that by signing guys as UDFAs too so that point is moot.

We took him because he was one of the highest rated players on our board and possibly the most likely to be taken in the draft out of the guys we had ranked with him.

its a pretty strategic attempt to fake out the Falcons. how can they game plan for him if they cant even find a picture of the guy?

my question is, did they really think he would be drafted by someone else? or that he wouldn't accept a UDFA contract from us? Was there not a more valuable player that we'd rather have the rights to? or was this just all about filling out the roster, without leaving question marks at the position for after the draft.



The way they've explained it is they have players in certain bubbles, I think in areas they're willing to take them. So bubbles and need, boom, Rooks.
