The Falcons traded up to the Seahawks’ No. 26 pick. With the pick, they have selected UCLA linebacker/defensive end Takkarist McKinley. The Seahawks will receive Atlanta’s No. 31 pick plus third and seventh round choices.
McKinley came into the draft process with tons of hype but his stock has fallen somewhat in recent weeks. Some teams may have cooled on the pass rusher, but the Falcons are as excited about him as ever.
McKinley may slot in as a starting defensive end opposite of Adrian Clayborn. Currently, it’s something of a full house at linebacker with Vic Beasley, Deion Jones, and De’Vondre Campbell as likely starters.
Tak’s interview with Deion went well

That comment made no sense… but thumbs up to you. I dozed off before the pick and happened to wake up just in time to question whether I had actually heard Tak’s words correctly…
Referring to my comment as making no sense??
I think he was referring to his 1 hahaha comment
Boy he has the manners I tell yea
Dude’s job is to blow up QB’s, not talk to reporters. I think he’ll be just fine…
