Take their first round pick. That'll stop Atlanta from pulling these shenanigans again, as well as serve as a warning to the rest of the league.

Precedent is basically set as a $75k fine for the team and $25k fine for the coach. So that's not gonna happen.

So the precedent was set, and teams continue to skirt the rule. Would justify rising the penalty to a level that prevents it from occuring again.

If the Steelers were hit with a 1st round pick, I doubt Atlanta would have done this. Then again, maybe they would still, but at least they'd know the risks.

It's not a first round pick level thing. Maybe a 7th. But not a 1st.
