Atlanta Falcons' Draft Strategy: Trade Down for More Capital?

The Atlanta Falcons might trade down in the NFL draft for more picks. Explore their strategy and possibilities.

The Atlanta Falcons have a history of unconventional draft decisions. Their general manager, Terry Fontenot, is described as aggressive. This year, with only five picks, they seem inclined to trade down for more draft capital. But finding a willing partner is not easy. The team has defensive needs, but Fontenot adheres to a best-player-available philosophy. What will happen remains uncertain.
