The Falcons' Draft Party was About as Loud and Proud as Their Crowd Typically is Following the Selection of Their 1st Round Pick

So the Atlanta Falcons draft party wasn’t impressed with the pick of Chris Lindstrom □ pic.twitter.com/doJzvs1Sgp

I'll start saying this. Though building an impenetrable offensive line is a key to sustained  success in the NFL, a guard from a relatively unheralded program like Boston College isn't the type of glamorous first round pick that gets your heart beating faster and increases the blood flow to your sports' penis. It takes the most diehard of fan to appreciate such a selection at that spot and since the Falcons have, give or take, about a half-dozen those, it's not surprising it was met with the type of reaction one might expect to see from people greetings those around them in neighboring church pews. 

​That being said, you would have thought that Atlanta would have learned by now that they are in desperate need of artificial enhancement if a raucous, supportive atmosphere is what they are going for, so I'm a little taken aback by the fact that they didn't pump in some of that crowd noise they got penalized into packing away for the past few years. A moderately attended fan event would have been the perfect time to break out the speakers and the applause track, especially if a relatively unknown road grader was about to be the honoree. Even a handful of claps would have made a difference amongst an otherwise dumbfounded draft party, so why not break out the AUX cord and add the sound effects of excitement and elation?
