The Atlanta Falcons are nearly a year removed from landing Drake London, Desmond Ridder, and Tyler Allgeier in last year’s draft setting high expectations to live up to. The problem for Atlanta is the current position they are in with this year’s prospects forming a clear top six with the question marks behind them growing.

Obviously, with the combine and draft interviews still to come this could change completely especially when it comes to the quarterback position. C.J. Stroud, Bryce Young, and Will Levis are this year’s top three prospects with some rumblings already suggesting that Levis could upset what should be an obvious order.

Atlanta should approach the draft with a simple approach taking who they believe to be the best player on the board regardless of their position. Though the Falcons are highly unlikely to see any of these three prospects come draft day there are three clear targets for a team that is sitting right outside of adding a clear impact player.
