A trio of moves has the Falcons back in the news, but none of the signings are likely to tilt the franchise’s fortunes in a meaningful way. They do, perhaps, remove some of the cloudiness surrounding Atlanta’s draft options. With a pair of interesting cornerbacks now in the fold—although neither should be banked upon—it seems a bit more likely the Falcons go with their choice of edge rusher at No. 8 or take a serious look at moving back.
The moving back option makes even more sense when considering how the acquisition of Kirk Cousins put their financial timeline on the fast track.
