The Falcons have a promising rookie class, one that figures to deliver as many as 3-4 immediate starters and could feature nine 2021 contributors. That’s probably a little optimistic, given that things rarely work out that well, but this team has significant needs and they brought in a quality haul. I’m excited to see them all in action.
Those that are in action right now are out there without contracts, which sounds like it may continue for a bit. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler dropped some scuttlebutt this morning about Julio Jones wanting to go to a contender and seeking a strong-armed quarterback, but also noted the Falcons are telling agents there may still be a bit of a wait on their rookie deals.
