The 2021 NFL Draft has finally come and gone, with the Falcons adding nine rookies to the roster along with 20 UDFA signings. That brings Atlanta’s roster to 86 total players out of a possible 90, meaning that some additional veterans or UDFAs will be coming at some point in the near future. Until the team creates more cap space—either through a Grady Jarrett extension, restructure, or other methods—there won’t be any more moves, however.
With a ton of new additions and the roster almost set, it’s time for my first 53-man roster projection of the year.
