Falcons mock draft: Could the Falcons consider a big trade down?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The 2024\u00a0NFL Draft\u00a0is finally, mercifully, just a few days away. I\u2019d expect to hear\u00a0a lot\u00a0<\/em>of noise and craziness in the lead up to Thursday, and I\u2019d caution you that maybe 10% of it is legitimate. At this point in the process, teams have typically narrowed down their boards and made the bulk of their tough decisions. Obviously, draft night can always throw a wrench into even the best laid plans, but I wouldn\u2019t expect major changes for most teams.<\/p>\n

Speaking of wrenches being thrown into plans, I\u2019m sure most of you have seen\u00a0my trade and subsequent pick for the Atlanta Falcons in SB Nation\u2019s Writers\u2019 Mock Draft. Long story short, the Falcons received a large offer from the\u00a0Los Angeles Rams\u00a0to move back to 19, and the deal was simply too good to refuse. Atlanta wound up drafting a player they probably would\u2019ve considered at 8 while pocketing an extra third-rounder this year and a 2025 first-round pick.<\/p>\n

Well, I was so intrigued by that scenario that I thought it would be a fun exercise to continue the mock draft on my own\u2014the Writers\u2019 Mock only goes through the second round\u2014and see how that sort of big trade could impact Atlanta\u2019s entire draft class. Don\u2019t worry though: for those of you who prefer no-trade mocks, I\u2019ll have one of those coming your way on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Before we jump in to the mock, let\u2019s take a look at the Falcons\u2019 current haul of draft picks.<\/p>\n
