The Falcons are a team no one can seem to get a read on heading into next Thursday night’s 2021 NFL Draft kickoff, which is exactly the way they like it. That’s reflected in the way national reporters who pride themselves on their connections are talking about this team, with a heaping helping of “if,” “no one seems quite certain,” and “people I talk to” making that clear.
This has, as we’ve noted before, left us to collect rumors and reports and see what kind of picture they paint when put together. Peter King, who has been doing this for decades and remains well-connected in league circles, has seemed as stumped as anyone.
