2020 NFL Draft: Breaking down all 6 Falcons picks

After leading the league in trade rumors entering the draft, the Atlanta Falcons didn’t make a single move during all three days.

Round 7 (No. 228): P Sterling Hofrichter – Syracuse

Analysis: Ryan Allen just got put on notice. As Scott emphasized in his breakdown of new Falcons punter Sterling Horfrichter, to take a punter is to expect him to play. Otherwise, there are way too many talented players still available that would trump a need to simply add competition for Allen. Obviously, seventh-round selections rarely work out, so there’s not much use in criticizing this pick. Hofrichter is a low-risk, high-reward option that has a chance to start as a rookie.

2019 Stats: 69 punts, 43.9 yards per punt, 1 extra point made
