Atlanta’s heading into the 2022 NFL Draft with a list of needs longer than a python’s stomach. To address them, they’ll need as many picks as they can get, either so they can increase the number of darts they throw on the board or package a few picks up to swing for the fences on players they really like.
The Julio Jones trade gave them an additional second round selection that will be useful in that regard, but there’s another pick the Falcons are...well, picking up that might make a difference as well. That’d be the sixth rounder they’re set to get as a compensatory pick for losing Alex Mack, per Over The Cap.
