The NFL Draft is mercifully almost here. It’s one thing to talk about what plans are for this Atlanta Falcons team and how they’ll return to contention, and another thing entirely to see those plans actually play out. I think many of us have accepted that the Falcons are unlikely to be great this year and quite likely to struggle to get close to a winning season, and even if they surprise, the team’s ceiling isn’t all that high.
That could change in a hurry, as many things do in the NFL, if this team is able to spend its 2023 cap space effectively and nail the past two draft classes.
