Atlanta Falcons NFL Draft picks 2024: Grades, fits and scouting reports

The Atlanta Falcons enter the 2024 NFL Draft on April 25 with eight picks over the three-day draft.

After addressing offensive needs in free agency with deals for quarterback Kirk Cousins and wide receiver Darnell Mooney, the Falcons are expected to go heavy on defense in this draft. They have holes to fill at edge rusher, cornerback and defensive tackle under first-year head coach Raheem Morris, the former Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator.

Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot said this week his team will be looking for the best player available “for us” with every selection.
