The Atlanta Falcons and the 2024 NFL Draft: Will They Finally Nail It (or Draft Another Meme Machine)?
The Atlanta Falcons and the NFL Draft: a name more iconic than peanut butter and... well, maybe not peanut butter, but definitely a name that gets Falcons fans both excited and nervous. Here's the thing, folks: the Falcons haven't exactly been known for their stellar drafting in recent years. Remember the year they took a tight end in the top 5 while Julio Jones was still on the roster? Yeah, that was a doozy.
But hey, a new year brings new hope, right? So, what exactly does the future hold for the Falcons in the 2024 draft? Let's grab some virtual popcorn, settle in, and see what birds of prey the Falcons might snag.

| What Picks Do The Atlanta Falcons Have In The 2024 Nfl Draft |
Picking Power: How Many Falcons Will Fly into the Nest in 2024?
Thankfully, the Falcons aren't going into this draft completely bare-clawed. They actually have a decent amount of picks to work with, a cool eight to be exact. That means eight chances to find the next franchise quarterback, a lockdown cornerback, or maybe even someone who can teach Matt Ryan how to slide (too soon?). Here's the breakdown:
Tip: Reading in chunks improves focus.
- Round 1: The Falcons hold the eighth overall pick. This could be a game-changer, folks.
- Rounds 2-6: The Falcons have scattered picks throughout these rounds, giving them some flexibility to address different needs.
- Round 7: No seventh-round pick for the Falcons this year. Maybe they're finally learning to avoid those late-round fliers?
The Burning Question: What Needs Do the Falcons REALLY Need to Address?
Well, that's the million-dollar question, isn't it? Here are a couple of areas the Falcons might be eyeing:
- Quarterback (Maybe): Kirk Cousins is a decent option, but not exactly the long-term solution. Will they take a gamble on a rookie QB with the eighth pick?
- Offensive Line: Protecting whoever's under center is kind of important, wouldn't you say? The Falcons could use some reinforcements up front.
- Defense (Always): Falcons fans know the drill. Their defense could use some serious help, particularly on the pass rush.
Remember, this is all speculation! The Falcons are known to throw some curveballs on draft day.
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
How to Draft Like a Falcon (Probably Not Recommended)
Look, we wouldn't recommend trying to draft like the Falcons at home. But hey, here are some tips (sort of) based on their recent history:
- Draft an offensive weapon high, even if you already have plenty.
- Confuse everyone by taking a player nobody saw coming.
- Hope for the best and pray the memes aren't too brutal.
Disclaimer: These are jokes (we hope).
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
