What the likely 3 QB run at the start of the 2021 NFL Draft might mean for the Falcons

Two major trades shook up the NFL yesterday. The first saw the Dolphins picking up a haul in exchange for moving down to #12, allowing the 49ers to soar to #3 and get their quarterback of the future in about a month. The second also involved the Dolphins, who decided to move back up to #6, sending the Eagles down to #12 and likely confirming that Philadelphia will roll with Jalen Hurts in 2021.

Both of those trades had implications for the Falcons, at least on paper. The 49ers moving up means another quarterback will go in the top three, while the Dolphins pulling back up to #6 means there are now two teams immediately behind the Falcons who have no interest in a quarterback.
