The Atlanta Falcons are not going to tank. Miserable effort against Cleveland aside, which one still suspects was not truly teamwide, this is not a football team that lacks for effort or resolve. If they’re going to lose, they’ll do so the old-fashioned way: By not being good.
Some fans are going to wish for exactly that outcome once they see where the Falcons could potentially fall in the 2019 NFL Draft.
Yes, that’s seventh overall. That top ten pick would give the Falcons a chance to land a potentially elite talent like, I dunno, Houston’s Ed Oliver.
