Falcons 2021 draft class: Versatility and upside a theme for Atlanta

On Saturday afternoon the Atlanta Falcons completed their 2021 draft class, and it looks to be a promising one.

The team leaned slightly towards the defensive side of the ball, adding five defenders and four offensive players, but it grabbed young talent at some sorely needed positionsth sides. Atlanta drafted two offensive linemen and three members of the secondary, and those players should be in the competition early.

Most importantly, however, the Falcons may have ended up with the draft’s best player – Kyle Pitts. Already marked with the “unicorn” label, Pitts might be the most tantalizing prospect to join the Falcons since Julio Jones, and that pick turned out fairly well.
