Ahead of what some expect to be a trade-heavy draft, the Falcons and Jaguars have executed a defensive tackle trade. And no, Dexter Lawrence—who has reportedly requested a trade from the Giants—is not involved.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Falcons are sending defensive tackle Ruke Orhorhoro to the Jaguars in exchange for defensive tackle Maason Smith. Both Orhorhoro and Smith were selected in the second round of the 2024 NFL draft, just 13 picks away from each other. The Falcons took Orhorhoro at No. 35 while Smith was drafted at No. 48.
