Falcons projected to lose 2023 compensatory picks with recent signings

Many things have changed in a short time in Atlanta. For example, the Falcons were projected to have 4th and 5th round compensatory picks in the 2023 NFL Draft after they lost Russell Gage and Foye Oluokun to free agency, which would have given them extra draft capital ahead of what’s shaping up to be the most consequential Falcons season in some time. It’s unclear whether the Falcons will manage to be fun in 2022, but it’s even less clear they’ll be any good, whereas they have $130-plus million in cap space coming next year and time to lay the groundwork for massive upgrades to the roster.
