The Falcons thought they had it all with a dominant running game led by superstar Bijan Robinson. Through the air, Drake London was the wind beneath their wings until the real Kirk Cousins showed up which led to a dive bomb into the ground. The Falcons do have a good team, and if Michael Penix Jr. can continue to improve, you could see the Falcons stay aloft this year. With only five draft picks, they’ll have to make the most out of the 15th, 46th, 118th, 218th, and 252nd picks overall.
Offensive Line
Luckily the Falcons have most of their skill positions filled so they can focus on building their core. That starts with the offensive line, which can wait till their 46th pick, which gives them a shot at either Aireontae Ersery or Marcus Mbow.
Defensive Line
I would like to see the Falcons address their defense and that starts with a dominant defensive lineman. That means Deone Walker or Darius Alexander are in play with the 46th pick as well.
Edge
There’s so many great Edge rushers around the 15th spot that any of them can work for the Falcons. Mykel Williams and Mike Green would be the obvious choices here unless the Falcons decide to go with an offensive lineman here.
Cornerback
Jaylin Smith would be a great pick at 118 if he falls to the Falcons here. If they choose to go Jonas Sanker at the 118th pick, then Woodi Washington would be a great cover at 218. No matter which way they go, they have plenty of options to take in the secondary.
Safety
It feels like Jonas Sanker should be the first pick for the Falcons but if they decide to wait, then Billy Bowman Jr. should be perfect for them. When they come back around at 252 Jabbar Muhammad should be available as well giving them a couple of chances at finding their next starting safety for the future.
