The Hawks still need scoring and shot creation after trading Trae Young.
Collin Sexton, Anfernee Simons, and Coby White could all help fill that void alongside Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels, Onyeka Okongwu, and Jonathan Kuminga heading into the offseason.
Iโve been staunchly against paying WRs this kind of money for a while now. It is poor cap management. The #Falcons should have paid Bijan first.
The whole world commonly thinks paying RBs is a bad move. Not in the case of Bijan, who is special. Very special. Definitely more special at RB than Drake is at WR.
None of this is about Drake as a player. Heโs amazing and a draft pick I 100% agreed with. But cap management brings in a different discussion. You never pay WRs this kind of money. Itโs not a winning formula. Especially when you are unsettled at QB.
I think that Matt Ryan/Ian Cunningham have done a good job to this point. But this is one they may end up regretting.
