The Falcons have completed their 2022 NFL Draft class, adding eight players to the mix. With a focus on athleticism and physicality throughout the class, the Falcons added five players to a rapidly re-tooling offense and three defenders, a pair of edge rushers and an intriguing linebacker.
With the selections, the team has made it clear that jump-starting a moribund offense is a huge priority, especially after they traded away Matt Ryan and lost Calvin Ridley to a suspension. The team drafted a player they hope can be their next long-term starting quarterback, a big target for him to throw to, a bruising running back, a mauling guard and a physical blocking tight end.
