The Falcons were parked at the fourth or fifth pick last week, depending on your particular reading of the team’s strength of schedule. After a win over the Cardinals that was impressive for its sheer one-sidedness, the Falcons have moved back a little bit, just outside the top five.
There are two games left and this will be in flux, of course, but a top ten draft pick would be excellent for Atlanta’s chances of landing an elite player, and they’re not exactly dead in the hunt for the top five with the Jaguars and 49ers at least playing some game football in recent weeks.
