Twitter reacts to Falcons drafting WR Drake London at No. 8
The Atlanta Falcons selected USC wide receiver Drake London with the eighth overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft Thursday night.
With EDGE Jermaine Johnson and QB Malik Willis still on the board, the Falcons instead chose to upgrade their weakest position with arguably the best wide receiver in this year’s draft class.
Check out how Falcons fans are reacting to the team’s newest addition on Twitter.
LONDON IS RED BABY

Terry Fontenot has now gone weapon in back to back drafts.
I don’t love WR or London at 8, despite the need and all the holes.
This is partially Calvin Ridley’s fault. #NFLDraft @929TheGame

Two very large targets available for Arthur Smith’s offense.
Kyle Pitts and Drake London definitely going to have a size miss match for defenders. https://t.co/QZbKGjtD08

This team has absolutely no direction man, can run the ball, can't protect the QB, can't rush the passer, have no QB but go WR. I just don't understand man.

Terry really does do the BPA approach. Welcome to ATL, Drake London.

That’s a BAD MAN! The Falcons got a Great One! As great of a player as he is, he’s an even better person! Go do what you do and dominate! @DrakeLondon_ https://t.co/SaH4RpvcVr

When the Saints take George Pickens and he roasts the Falcons secondary, don't come talking to me. https://t.co/zyIvB9WXZS
