After trading veteran Matt Ryan away, there’s a very strong possibility that the Falcons will select a quarterback in the 2022 NFL draft. But will it be with pick No. 8 overall, or one of the four other picks Atlanta has in the top 85?
The team signed free agent Marcus Mariota to a two-year deal, but the Falcons are only paying him $18.75 million total, which is backup/bridge quarterback money.
Luke Easterling of Draft Wire shakes things up in his new mock draft. Atlanta doesn’t just take a QB, the team trades up to No. 1 overall to acquire Liberty’s Malik Willis.
