The Falcons receiving corps is laughably weak on paper. The most established wide receiver is Damiere Byrd, a journeyman third or fourth receiver with intriguing speed, and the highest-upside options are probably oft-injured tall guy Auden Tate and 2021 Falcons sixth-round rookie Frank Darby. On paper, this is the worst receiving corps in the league, and I’m not sure it’s a particularly close competition.
That’s the snapshot in early April, but for a lot of reasons, doing more than cracking some easy jokes about the current depth is probably a mistake. The Falcons aren’t going to have an all-world receiving corps and you will pine for the highs of 2019 at some point in the not-too-distant future, but there are a few reasons to not start panicking about how dismal things look in the here and now.
