The Atlanta Falcons are one of the teams that should take a major step forward in 2024. They’ve had good talent but seemed to need more direction. Atlanta had an interesting draft, mainly because of the pick of quarterback Mike Penix Jr. in the first round after signing free agent Kirk Cousins. They also picked up defenders Bralen Trice and Brandon Dorlus in the second and third rounds, giving new head coach Raheem Morris some new pieces on defense. With the right mixture of youth, established talent, and veteran leadership, the Falcons are knocking on the door of success.
