The Falcons are down bad at the moment. The roster is the worst it has been in decades thanks to the prior regime’s mismanagement, the current regime’s mismanagement, and online gambling. A mere 12 months back, we were salivating at the thought of Matt Ryan throwing the ball to Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, Russell Gage and Kyle Pitts. Now only Pitts will suit up for the Falcons in 2022.
Due to the roster problems, new-ish general manager Terry Fontenot may be forced to abandon his best player available approach. Free agency should in theory be used to address needs while finding value across all positions in the draft.
