The Falcons shocked the football world by drafting Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the 8th overall pick amidst their recent signing of free agent quarterback Kirk Cousins. After selecting Michael Penix Jr., the Falcons decided to bolster their defensive line by drafting Clemson defensive tackle Ruke Orhorhoro, Washington edge Bralen Trice, Oregon defensive tackle Brandon Dorlus, and Georgia defensive tackle Zion Logue.
The Falcons also drafted help for Kirk Cousins by selecting Alabama running back Jase McClellan and Illinois wide receiver Casey Washington. The Falcons will now enter the 2024 season with a significantly improved defensive line and a loaded quarterback room, which is never a bad problem to have.
