The Atlanta Falcons can find a possible answer at quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft by selecting Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy. Host Aaron Freeman goes through a recent mock draft from Benjamin Solak (@theringer) that had the Falcons selecting McCarthy with the eighth overall selection. Aaron breaks down why McCarthy's stock is on the rise, why he'll be inevitable compared to Desmond Ridder, but also why he thinks McCarthy is a better bet than some other alternative options like Justin Fields.
Later, he looks at alternative selections in the first round of the draft including Alabama edge-rusher Dallas Turner and LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers. Finally, he answers a listener question about whether or not there needs to changes in how teams should evaluate QBs based on this year's postseason results.
