Despite reports of disagreements between the two sides, Atlanta Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot and head coach Arthur Smith are "aligned" ahead of the 2021 NFL draft, according to D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The Falcons currently hold the No. 4 pick of the draft, which could be used either for a future franchise quarterback or another impact player.
Chris Mortensen of ESPN recently reported (h/t Evan Birchfield of SB Nation) Fontenot wants to take a quarterback, potentially Trey Lance out of North Dakota State, while Smith wants to stick with veteran Matt Ryan under center.
