The NFL Draft tends to be the point at which fan confidence either skyrockets or craters, usually based on little more than whether they took players we liked and tackled positions we thought they should.
It’s fairly rare that a draft barely moves the needle, but that appears to be the case in 2019. Per the latest results of our FanPulse poll for Falcons fans, confidence is now at 56% after the draft. It was, for reference, in the 40% range before free agency and at 58% just before the draft. That suggests that cautiously optimistic fans did not find a reason to suddenly heave their confidence behind Atlanta based on a draft class that caught most of us off-guard, if not in the positions selected than certainly in the players who wound up here.
