The Atlanta Falcons last had a top five draft selection in 2008, when they snagged Matt Ryan. With a brand new regime incoming, they may well be picking in the top five once again.
With a 30-27 victory last night, the Chargers went from 4th in the 2021 NFL Draft order to 9th. That inevitably moved the Falcons from 7th to 6th, with the Panthers and Cowboys also sitting at 4-9 heading into Week 15. With the Falcons having to play the Buccaneers at home this weekend minus Julio Jones and Ricardo Allen, among others, and then following that up with road games against the Buccaneers and Chiefs, they realistically could leapfrog both and go as high as #4.
