It seems like only a week ago the Falcons were looking at so many possibilities in the upcoming draft. The Jets, the holder of the 2nd overall draft slot, were talking up current quarterback Sam Darnold. The Dolphins, the holder of the 3rd overall draft slot, took a quarterback in 2020. That means the Falcons had a shot at every quarterback in the NFL draft outside of Trevor Lawrence.
Now? Not as much.
Terry Fontenot, the new general manager and proponent of taking the best player available, is looking at a completely different scenario.
