Early Falcons 53-man roster predictions after 2024 NFL Draft

2 of 3

Defensive line (7):

Grady Jarrett
David Onyemata
Zach Harrison
Ruke Orhorhoro (Draft - 2.35)
Brandon Dorlus (Draft - 4.109)
Kentavius Street
Zion Logue (Draft - 6.197)

The work the Falcons have done these past two years to fix this position is just extraordinary. With two talented newcomers and a healthy Grady Jarrett, they become even better.

Edge rusher (4):

Arnold Ebiketie
Lorenzo Carter
Bralen Trice (Draft - 3.74)
DeAngelo Malone

The Falcons have a lot of trust in Arnold Ebiketie going into his third season. They still could improve at the position but Bralen Trice is someone who can come in and impact the game right away. Could we also have a breakout season for DeAngelo Malone with a new scheme?

Linebackers (4):

Kaden Elliss
Nate Landman
Troy Andersen
J.D. Bertrand (Draft - 5.143)

A position that was a strength last season thanks to the emergence of Nate Landman. We also hope that Troy Andersen and his incredible athleticism will stay on the field for the entire season.

Cornerback (6):

A.J. Terrell
Xavien Howard (projected signing)
Clark Phillips III
Mike Hughes
Dee Alford
Antonio Hamilton

I am not going to lie, I have questions here for the Atlanta Falcons. They have A.J. Terrell and three guys who are best suited in the slot. While I thought Clark Phillips III was excellent outside, can he hold up against a full season of big receivers? And if they decide to sign Xavien Howard, how healthy will he be through a 17-game season?

Safety (4):

Jessie Bates III
John Johnson III (projected signing)
DeMarcco Hellams
Richie Grant

The Falcons know what they have in Jessie Bates III but then they have a couple of wildcards when it comes to those currently on the roster. That is why Raheem Morris brings in a familiar face in John Johnson III.
