Last year, the Falcons didn’t sign a single soul to their quarterback depth chart until after the first night of the 2021 NFL Draft. It was just Matt Ryan until the team selected Kyle Pitts at No. 4, leaving the impression that they wanted to create uncertainty about who they were choosing and/or that they were hoping San Francisco might pass on Trey Lance at No. 3. Either way, the team held off on addressing the position until that call was made and they knew they needed someone, and they had A.J. McCarron signed the next day.
It’s not an identical situation, but I’m wondering if we might see a similar sort of waiting game play out along the offensive line.
