The Atlanta Falcons have made picking offensive building blocks in the top ten something of a habit in recent years, grabbing Kyle Pitts in 2021, Drake London in 2022, and Bijan Robinson in 2023. If The Athletic’s draft guru Dane Brugler has his druthers, they’ll go back to their well again in 2024.
In his latest two round mock draft, Brugler has the Falcons choosing LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels at #8 and using their second round pick to grab productive Washington receiver Ja’Lynn Polk. That would once again force the Falcons to invest in their defense heavily via free agency and potentially trade, but should set the offense up to be the kind of unit we dreamed it might be heading into 2023.
