The 2021 NFL Draft is fast approaching, which means it’s time to discuss some priority targets for the Falcons. Atlanta has been carefully adding veterans in free agency to bolster several major roster holes, but the team still has significant gaps in the roster. Up until the draft, I’ll be detailing some of my top prospects for the Falcons at several positions of need.
We kick things off with EDGE, where the Falcons managed to retain 2020 free agent bust Dante Fowler after he agreed to a significant pay cut. The team added a few depth pieces in Brandon Copeland and Barkevious Mingo, but they’re still in desperate need of a high-end talent to complement a—hopefully improved—Fowler.
