 We always start with the makeup. We love the way the young man's wired. He's a tough, smart, competitive football player. The way he works, the way he competes, we're very excited to bring him. He fits our ethos. He fits the culture, everything that we want to be as a football team here, he fits it. He checks all those boxes. And as a player, he's big, he's athletic, the versatility, things he can do on the field, the catch radius, we're very excited to make him a falcon. The speed, what 40 times did you all have on the move of seeing Barry and numbers on that? That's great. We worked them out, so we felt pretty comfortable with the speed and everything, the tape. So we're not going to discuss internal measurements we had on guys. You just watch the tape. He's plenty fast. That's top secret? It's not top secret, but that's our intellectual property. So no, we're obviously very. What's that? We're trying to figure out a lot of contested catches because he's not getting open on the slot. Yeah, guys, a dynamic player plays a lot of position. He's everything you want in mental makeup. Like Terry said, he's wired the right way. We're excited as hell that he's a part of the Falcons. He was saying that you guys did a lot of work on him to kind of want him to keep it quiet. But you guys are really talking about how much work did you guys actually do on him versus me? Very extensive. Yeah, so that was what Terry mentioned the other day, part of the process. We were able to get back out on the road. So we felt very confident in exactly the kind of player we were bringing in here. Yeah, it means a lot to spend time with those guys and get around them and go to work them out in their place and really get your hands on them. That's really important, and we're very impressed with everything we did with him. And what went through taking a receiver versus there were a couple of directors on the board. There was Charles Cross on the board. It was a highly-rated offensive tackle. What went through taking a receiver versus maybe some of those other positions of need for you guys? Well, every position was of need, Michael. So we trusted our board and where it fell. So we're very excited about the player. And you can obviously, if you're paying attention after our pick, you saw the run on wide outs, which we predicted was going to happen. So all the factors led into it, but we also trusted our process. And we weren't going to reach. We talked about that the other day about need. Things are even, sure. Things aren't. That's why you do all this work. You know, all of a sudden get on the clock and start just dismissing all the work these scouts have put in on the whole process. We talked about being collaborative and then you go away from strategies just because you're on the clock. So it's pretty much just how the board fell, right? You weren't thinking offense, defense, position, whatever versus how things fell when you got to eight. Yeah, correct. Yeah, yeah, stack the board and he was the best player on the board. We're excited to take him off. Obviously, if a defensive player would have been there, that was the best player. We took him. Drake was the best player and we're excited about it. Anything in the first seven picks that surprised you at all? No, no. I think it obviously doesn't always go off in the order, but I don't think there are any surprises. What about you guys? You think there are any surprises? Yeah, at number three. Number three. Yeah, the foot and anybody. We didn't know what the medicals looked like. That's the problem. So that was the kind of, you know, jump it up stuff a little bit. Looking ahead tomorrow, you got four picks in your first round. I got to let the dust set up, but it should be another busy day starting tomorrow for you guys. Yeah, it's exciting. We're just looking through the board and it's cool to have a day to kind of digest and look at the players that are there and as we count, okay, this is our group. Who do we expect to be there? And there's some good football players at every position. So we're really excited. In the middle it got kind of sketchy with all the trades. Where were y'all at when all that was going down? I mean, we always answer our phone and obviously people call and want to know if you want to get back in. But we felt like we weigh everything and we talk about how much things would cost and we'll do the same thing tomorrow. We had those discussions, but we felt comfortable to be patient and get rolling tomorrow. Did y'all have any offers to move down? We discussed some offers. We did and it's just a weighing process though because sometimes like what happens is people will call and throw something out there that might not make sense. So it's all a weighing process comparing the player to what you could actually get. So we did have some discussions. How many did you guys at all consider quarterback? It's just the same way we consider all the other positions. We took the best player off the board. The phone calls that you received about the eighth pick, would you have had to move way down or just a little bit? We talked to teams in the middle and at the bottom and we talked to basically everybody, Jeff. So we talked to enough teams and it obviously wasn't enough. Wasn't something that made sense to us as we weigh the pros and cons to actually move out of that pick. And I was gonna say how much of it was that? How much of it was you just really liked this player at 18? I think it was more so. We love the player. We're excited about him, but also a lot of those calls, people were just kinda checking in, as opposed to someone that really wants to give up a lot to get up. So none of you ever got really serious in your view? No. Arthur, your evaluation of the wide receivers. What did Drake's size, how big of a role did Drake's size play? Certainly, it was a factor, but it's not the, I know the popular narrative that oh, it's gotta be this height or we want the bigger receiver. It certainly helped, but that's not the, and there's some really good players that got taken, well, we'll play with anybody that can help this team. So we just liked what the player brought to this team, how he'll be used for us, how he compliments some of the other pieces we have. And like I said, we were static. You know, obviously there was some really good players taking the way the board was stacked and when he was still sitting there and like the Terry's point, there was no offer that made any sense and not to get into the details in his job. So we're really, really happy to Drake London's and Falcon. What does his production tell you that the number of targets and catches per game? What does that say to you? Well, he's a, well here's what you're looking at. He played two different spots and 20 he's inside and then they moved him outside. So that shows us a lot. You see a lot of different route tree with him. You see the stuff outside you saw from the 21 season, go back to the 20 season, watch him inside. He's, he's hard to bring down. He's a catch and run guy. He's also very contested, super competitive. The middle makeup, we're static about. So he's a very versatile player, even at a size. You kind of, some of those guys get pigeonholed. Oh, he's only an X or he's only outside. That's kind of nonsense. The way we play and the guys move around you gotta be able to do both. The competitor sticks out so much. When y'all watch the tape, try to find some plays of him going out of bounds. When he's near that sideline, he's gonna, he's a physical player. He's gonna lower his hat, even if it's for another inch, but he's not run out of bounds. He's fighting for every end. The player, he's one of those guys that we enjoyed our meetings with him, but you don't even have to meet him and you know that he loves ball and he's passionate in all those things when you just put on the tape and see the way he plays the game. So that's why we're so excited. You talked about the runner wide receivers and I think there were three in a row after the tackle. Was there much separation in your mind in that top group of wide receivers that were four, five, six, seven, and a little more? Was he like far ahead? I just wanna show me your board. Was he like, we're not gonna do that. But I mean, is there, I mean, was there much? I know you're not gonna do that. Was there much separation in your mind between the group of wide receivers? Hypothetical subjectivity here. So, you know, there are a lot of good players. They all have different skill sets. We're really happy with the fit for us. And that really, that's all that matters. How do you? Coach, I'm talking about compliments. What do you think about just the sides with Kyle Piss last year and Drake London this year? That's two big targets with pretty good catch radiuses. Your thoughts on what you envisioned them being together on the field and in particular, what you think you could get done in the red zone? Well, it's really all over the field. We need more trips to the red zone too. So we gotta be more efficient. I mean, you know, so he's a good player. We're obviously excited. We have a good vision for him. He's gotta go out there and earn it. But they're different players too. And you can, again, look right out there and look at the numbers and say, oh, they're both tall. Yeah, but they're different players. They compliment each other well. So we're excited. He'll come in here. He'll add a lot to this offense, help us be more efficient. Obviously, we need to get more explosive too. He brings that to the table as well. We're gonna talk about just the big guys out there, Kyle Bissini and Drake Lundy. He had a nickname. Kind of already had a nickname for him. Yeah, I don't know about that one. Twin towers? Maybe need to work on that one. Yeah, we'll see if that one's done. Who, who, who did it? Right, he self-imposed a nickname for the two of them. That's smart. Thank you. All it does is give me more material for the team meeting. So I'm actually appreciative of that. So I'm actually fired up for that. Not good. You didn't have to bring that up, Cam, not. That wasn't my actual question. I just used it as an opportunity to talk to Drake, yeah. Tomorrow's morning. Yeah, you just put it on the T-form towers. Thank you. You mentioned him in the slot, him outside. Like, I don't want to get your full playbook away, but when you start to envision him and the way you can use him, what excites you about being the first to play? Well, it's just that. I mean, if you're gonna be a team that motions, or you're gonna play in certain condensed splits, especially in early downs, you've seen him go inside the numbers. A lot of guys that only play one position, some of these offenses, they only stay on the same side. It does give you a lot of confidence, as much as when you like to move different formations, different personnel groups, you see him run the routes that we'd ask him to run inside. You see him make those contested, gotta have it catch his one-on-one outside. So you're very confident in the player and what you're getting. Obviously, it's our job to keep developing and enhancing those skills. So like I said, it's a really valuable offensive weapon force. Talk about how they translate maybe college to pro. Do you see him as a guy who can be an immediate contributor year one? Well, that's the intent. You take a guy that high, but again, if he's, we'll bring him along at his speed. So certainly when you put a pick that high on a player, then there's an extra station that's got needs to contribute no different than Kyle last year. But we've all been around it. We're not gonna sit expedite. You know, he is coming off of an injury the last season. He's good to go, which we still gotta be smarter as we bring him along and get into camp. Can you just follow up on what you mentioned, Andrew, do you have a time on when you want him to be full go? You can ask D-Led about my time lines. Yeah. Charles. Oh God. Oh my God. A little late here for him. All right. Well, that's exactly what I was gonna ask. He told us that he's still working to build his endurance back up. So do you expect him to just have any restrictions as you're getting started with rookie camp and that kind of thing? I mean, the way that the it's set up now, you know, some of the rookie camps from the old days D-Led, you know, he's been kind of full metal jacking. They started, everybody's smart. You gotta build these guys. They're all been different. Some of these guys been on the banquet circuit. They've been taking a million visits. They've been trying to work out in hotel gyms. Like you guys gotta be smart when these guys get here and build them up. That's for all of our players. Terry, what would your son have mocked? Okay, he had his, he had his whole mock drafts and it's fun. It's really funny. He gets into it and it's cool. Look, we have a building here where we love families, love the families around and our kids are always here and it's pretty special for him to be around but he's definitely excited. Was he right with your pick? Was he right? Did he get your pick right? I can't reveal his pick. We got to make sure we keep him off the mic too. Is he getting his allowance this week or not? His allowance? Yeah, he missed the baseball game to be here today and he's so cocky, he thinks they're not gonna win because he won the baseball games. He's a different kid. Was he okay with your pick or did he give you a hard time? Oh no, he's excited about the pick. I'm sorry if you said this but how many times did you personally work out Drake or and or talk to a person? I don't think it's keeping it anyway. What was your intellectual properties already? I guess three times. He's got three different buzzwords. He's getting the new material. I'll talk to him and do his mix it up. Personal work out in a couple other meetings? And I'm sorry, you sold like right away that this could be your guy or did it take a while? Yeah, the entire process. No, we liked them the entire process from the meetings, February meetings with the Scouts. Everybody loved them and then we met them at the combine. Spent time with them there. We went out and had a personal work out, spent time with them, talked to them a lot and you checked all the boxes. Can't worry about what other teams are doing but after you guys took Drake, there was a run on wide receivers. What did you make of that section of the draft? Yeah, I think we kind of expected it. The author brought it up and we kind of predicted that probably was going to happen. There was going to be a little run on those guys. That's kind of how it happens. The defensive guys went and there's a run on receiver. So I think we kind of expected that. You guys kind of touched on this a little bit but when we talked with Drake, he really stressed. He wants to earn it and nothing to give in time. Did you guys get that sense any time you talked with them and then the due diligence you did? Do people kind of match that up with what you said to you guys? Yeah, no doubt. That's who he is. And you guys will be around him a little bit and when you're around him, you'll see that. When we're around him, we see that. When we watch his tape, we see that. That's who he is. He's a tough, he's a football player and he's wired the right way and we wouldn't, we're not going to bring, we wouldn't be bringing a guy in the building if he wasn't. So that means a lot. That's who he is. Talked a little bit, I guess, a pre-draft visit about the rising receiver contract, you know, another big trade today with AJ. How do you, you guys love Drake London obviously, but the receiver value as a whole, how much does that play in draft tonight? He was really the best player on the board as it came off, you know. So like we said, all those things are always factors, but for us, we stayed true to the board and he was the best player on the board and we took him. Do you have anything to surprise you tonight? Even after you guys played? That's crazy. I mean, those 32 good football players went tonight. So can't think of anything crazy. It's kind of what we expected. Regardless of whatever the hype and then whatever, it's kind of when you get closer to it, you realize what's fluff and what's not. So I was pretty active. What was the difference between going through it the second time as opposed to the first time last year? Well, we had to wait a little bit longer for our pick, but they actually went fast. Those, they weren't, they were turning those picks in. So it went a lot faster, but outside of that, and I don't think, I mean, we're a few picks down, hopefully next year we're waiting a lot longer and as we get this thing rolling, we're not picking the top 10 anymore. Kind of look ahead, what's your process tomorrow for picks? Yeah, so we basically have the players stacked and we'll sit on and go through them and really talk about our stack and we'll make those phone calls like we always do with the teams in front of us and the teams behind us and gather that information and because it's all a weighing process. So we're making a decision on, okay, these players are gonna be there. These are players we expect, but let's weigh what it will cost to go up and what we'll gain to come back and just weigh all that out. So we'll spend time going through our stack. The players are already stacked, but we just go back through it, spend some time with the coaches and pull some good names off the board tomorrow. We'll make sure we get some stronger coffee for some of you guys, look a little sleepy. Yeah, you look, you're all, so we'll make sure, I'll bring my coffee. When did the bow tie come off? How deep into the first round to the bow tie? Round 18. Round 18. Don't let the ground reach down. All right, good. Thanks, guys. Appreciate it, man.
