Doesn't matter what they ate, they aren't anywhere near large enough to pose a threat to a human. They're only as big as a house cat.

They were a bit bigger than that, being at 2 meters long, 50 cm high and weighing up to 15kgs. That is medium dog size, not to mention they hunted in packs and those claws they had.

Plus, unlike large dogs they don't have strong jaws - they only have their claws. They wouldn't have posed any threat to a human, even in a pack. What's it going to do, claw at your thighs? Oh how fearsome. LOL. In fact, you could probably keep them as a pet like a cat or dog.

Those claws were up to 6.5cm long which were probably used either to gain a foothold on prey and/or cut the vital organs of the throat. By the way they have been fossils found of Velociraptors attacking Protoceratops which were the same size as humans are.
If they had survived into our era they would have as dangerous to humans as wolves are.

Wolves are significantly larger, for one, and for two their jaws are twice as powerful as a German Sheppard - whereas Velociraptors had pathetically weak Jaws and attacked using one single claw on each hind foot. Also wolves are pack animals, and there's no evidence that Velociraptors are pack animals (and only very thin evidence that Deinonychus were pack animals).
