PATIENCE: Atlanta Falcons Name Ian Cunningham GM | How Trading BACK Could RESHAPE Draft Future

Episode 2664 Published 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Description

Atlanta Falcons usher in a new era with the hiring of Ian Cunningham as general manager—will his philosophy of trading back unlock long-term success for the franchise? The team’s history of aggressive drafting comes under scrutiny as host Aaron Freeman and guest Jarvis Davis (Locked On Sports Atlanta) debate whether the organization is finally embracing a more sustainable roster-building approach inspired by Cunningham’s experience with the Ravens, Eagles, and Bears. 

Senior Bowl standouts take center stage as Jarvis Davis spotlights Keylan Rutledge (Georgia Tech) as a versatile guard/center prospect, while defensive line plugs Tim Keenan (Alabama) and Zane Durant (Penn State) emerge as potential game-changers. Wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane and slot threat Caullin Lacy raise intriguing options for Atlanta’s evolving offense.
