The Falcons stood pat at eighth overall and added wide receiver and tall drink o’water Drake London with their first pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, but made a move early in the second round — trading up all the way to No. 38 to snag Penn State EDGE Arnold Ebiketie. They trade No. 43 and No. 114 in the fourth round to get him.
Regarded as one of the top remaining edge defenders on the board, Ebiketie should immediately upgrade Atlanta’s pass rush rotation. With 9.5 sacks in his senior season, Ebiketie was third in the Big-10 in sacks.
