With less than two weeks remaining until the 2023 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons can conceivably go in any number of directions with the No. 8 pick.
They’ve heavily invested on the defensive side of the ball in free agency and through trades, but that shouldn’t prevent them from drafting one of the top defenders in this year’s draft. In fact, if you look at most available big boards, the Falcons are in a prime position to add a notable defensive prospect. Of course, the work they’ve done already could mean they are free to continue to draft for the offense – something they’ve done in the first round each year under Terry Fontenot and Arthur Smith.
