Don't overthink it; get the guy that will get the quarterback

There is tons of speculation about what the Atlanta Falcons will do with the number eight pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Now there are questions about who the "best player available" is. Are Dallas Turner and Jared Verse the best players that could be there for the Falcons, or will another position player be available that gets a higher grade?

There is talk surrounding the 2024 edge rush class that it is a thin draft at that position. Doesn't that mean that some risk may be involved? There are also many that believe that if the Falcons trade back to the teens, that Turner or Verse may still be there, but is that a risk that the Falcons should be willing to take? What do they do if Marvin Garrison is available at eight? So many questions... but as Beau Morgan, Mike Bell, and Sandra Golden suggest: STOP OVERTHINKING THIS DRAFT PICK. Just get the guy that will get to the quarterback.
