The Falcons just wrapped up their largest draft class since 2014, the last time they had nine selections, and will be hoping this class can prove instrumental to the team’s return to relevance in 2021 and beyond.
As we’ve noted, the Falcons focused on versatility and upside when assembling this group, trying to pick up players who can play multiple roles and have enough talent to grow into major roles, as well. They also drew heavily from the Senior Bowl, where the team wound up being one of nine teams to select five or more players from the National and American teams.
