Day 1 of the NFL Draft is finally, mercifully here. The Falcons will make their highest pick since selecting Matt Ryan with the third-overall pick in 2008, and the organization may once again opt to select a quarterback in the first round.
Atlanta could also grab one of the top skill players in this draft, tight end Kyle Pitts being the media favorite among them, or it could trade back and accumulate more picks for later in the draft. Whatever route they take, it will reveal much about this new regime’s plans for the future.
But what about our plans for the future?
