The Atlanta Falcons enter the 2024 NFL Draft with pressing needs on defense and must decide whether to stick at eighth overall selection and take the top defensive player or trade back and still be able to land one. Host Aaron Freeman and guest Max Chadwick (@PFFCFB) break down which direction they think the Falcons should go and which defensive prospect stands out. They also discuss the possibility of the Falcons targeting another offensive weapon such as Washington WR Rome Odunze, or whether a trade might be more enticing if he's still on the board. Later, they discuss Day 2 options for the Falcons on defense and wide receiver including edge-rushers Chris Braswell (Alabama) and Bralen Trice (Washington), cornerbacks Ennis Rakestraw Jr. (Missouri), T.J. Tampa (Iowa State), and Kamari Lassiter (Georgia), and wide receivers Ladd McConkey (Georgia), Keon Coleman (FLorida State), Troy Franklin (Oregon), Xavier Legette (South Carolina), and Ja'Lynn Polk (Washington). Their conversation then moves onto the 2025 NFL Draft, and whether or not it makes sense for the Falcons to wait until next year to solve some of their needs at quarterback and safety. Finally, Aaron breaks down QB Taylor Heinicke's contract restructure, how much it saves the team in cap space, what it means for his future in Atlanta, and how it impacts the Falcons' potential to select a quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft.
