ATLANTA — The Falcons have a lot of salary-cap room, plenty of draft picks and so many options for using both.
Shoring up the defensive line will be a priority. The Falcons could use more playmakers alongside tight end Kyle Pitts and wide receiver Drake London. They’ll have to determine if they need a new starter at right tackle. Coach Arthur Smith needs to hire a new defensive coordinator.
Those are important decisions. None of them matter as much as deciding what to do at quarterback. Get that call wrong, and it will drag down the whole operation. Get it right, and a good quarterback can make missteps elsewhere not matter so much.
