The 2023 NFL draft kicks off in 24 hours and both the fans and players alike are wondering what their teams will do. The Atlanta Falcons are entering their second consecutive draft with the No. 8 overall pick, but will they stay there?
During Tuesday’s pre-draft press conference, Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot said the team was open to moving up or down. While this isn’t a new sentiment from Fontenot, this year it does feel like Atlanta could do pretty much anything.
Running back Cordarrelle Patterson asked the fans who they wanted to see the team draft on Twitter Wednesday evening. Here’s what Falcons fans had to say.
Falcon fans!!! Who do you think we should get in this draft???
