ESPN: Frank Darby, Damiere Byrd, and Auden Tate are not “roster locks”

The Falcons entered this offseason with only one veteran wide receiver who was penciled in on the team’s depth chart. With back-to-back offseason losses of Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley, the team was only able to bring along Olamide Zaccheaus. Everyone else will be a new face (or Frank Darby). That is a tough spot to be in with limited cap space and only minimal compensation from the losses of Matt Ryan (3rd round pick) and Calvin Ridley (suspended for 2022).

Despite that, Terry Fontenot did a nice job of replenishing the depth chart. Most notably, Fontenot made Drake London the first wide receiver off the board at 10th overall in the 2022 draft.
