As we approach the 2020 NFL Draft—which is now less than two weeks away—the rumor mill is starting to heat up. Yesterday, we were told a particularly outlandish story that the Falcons were interested in trading up...for a QB. That was almost certainly a smokescreen for Atlanta’s true intentions, but there’s a kernel of truth in every lie. The kernel of truth in that rumor appeared to be that the Falcons are indeed interested in trading up, which was reported today by Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer.
Atlanta being linked to trade-ups is nothing new.
