We’re just hours away from the start of the 2024 NFL Draft, and the Falcons are among the teams reportedly involved in trade talks. That shouldn’t come as a major surprise, as it’s been clear for weeks that Atlanta could be in a prime spot to draw interest as a potential trade partner.
Many expect the first seven picks to be offensive prospects, which would give the Falcons their top choice of defensive talent. It’s like they are attending a surf-and-turf buffet with seven friends who don’t eat red meat. However, depending on how closely the top defensive prospects are ranked on its draft board, Atlanta could move back a handful of spots and still land a player they’d be thrilled with.
