The Atlanta Falcons were ripped up and down for their poor performance in the 2024 NFL Draft. Michael Penix Jr. might not play for years, and none of the players Atlanta picked in Terry Fontenot's latest batch of new recruits have made any sort of positive impact on the overall roster. The Falcons have enough star power and experience on offense to be a viable playoff team, but they won't be able to break through unless they are able to supplement Kirk Cousins and their parade of skill position players with a defense and offensive line that can hold up against some of the better teams in the NFL. The Falcons have an opportunity to distance themselves from two rebuilding teams in the Panthers and Saints in addition to a flawed Buccaneers team. This mock draft could help them do that by improving their average defense.
