The Atlanta Falcons have a franchise-altering decision to make next week when they are on the clock with the No. 4 overall pick.

The Falcons can do one of three things, all of which have been discussed ad nauseum by this point:

  1. Select a QB to sit behind Matt Ryan for the future
  2. Select the best non-QB player
  3. Trade back and gain more draft capital

Depending on who you talk to, you might get three different pictures painted as to what the Falcons are truly leaning towards doing.
