After floundering in the final moments once again, the Falcons have fallen to 4-11 and are currently on a 4-game losing streak. The bad news is that they’ve been crushing our souls each week by being within striking distance of victory, only to fail—repeatedly and in increasingly maddening ways. The good news? Atlanta is currently projected to hold the 4th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. The traditional Dan Quinn late-season surge has failed to materialize under Raheem Morris, which has put the Falcons in position for a premium selection.
With one game remaining against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers—who have announced they will not be resting their starters—Atlanta could technically be picking anywhere from 3rd overall to 10th overall.
