The Atlanta Falcons could be narrowing down their choices for the 2021 NFL draft.

Selecting in the Top 10 of any professional draft, like the Atlanta Falcons are, is an odd reward for being terrible but that is exactly where the franchise is and maybe for another couple of years.

Sitting in the four spot gives general manager Terry Fontenot a lot of flexibility – he can stay put, move up or move down and select a wide variety of talent in all three of those situations.
