The Atlanta Falcons have made significant changes in the offseason, including hiring coach Raheem Morris and signing quarterback Kirk Cousins. These moves bring excitement to their plans for the NFL draft.
With Cousins signed to a big contract, the Falcons likely won’t target a quarterback with their No. 8 pick.
They traded Desmond Ridder for wide receiver Rondale Moore after signing Cousins, and Taylor Heinicke is set to return as the backup.
However, considering Cousins’ age and recent injury, the Falcons might still consider adding another quarterback later in the draft. As for their top pick, they could focus on improving their defense, possibly by selecting an edge rusher like Dallas Turner from Alabama.
