The Falcons will be adding three compensatory draft picks to their 2021 haul, bringing their total to nine selections. While Atlanta’s picking #4 in the first round and will have an opportunity to grab high-end talent through the first three rounds of the draft, a full six of those 9 picks will come on day three, meaning they’ll have to be savvy about their selections late to add depth with upside.
The selections will officially be two fifth rounders (for Vic Beasley and De’Vondre Campbell) and a sixth rounder (for Wes Schweitzer), giving Terry Fontenot and the front office more picks in a year where they’ll likely need every single one.
