Falcons Wire pre-draft predictions for Round 1

Falcons Wire’s writing staff makes its final 2023 NFL draft predictions for Round 1

The Atlanta Falcons hold the No. 8 overall pick as Day 1 of the 2023 NFL draft is set to begin, but there’s little consensus among analysts as to what the team will do. Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot, who rarely shows his hand before the draft, said the team is open to trading up or down.

Is this all just a smokescreen by Atlanta, or is the team seriously looking to pull off a draft-day trade? We will find out when Round 1 kicks off tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET on ESPN and NFL Network.
