Falcons draft EDGE, trade for QB Justin Fields in 7-round mock

#Falcons land elite EDGE rusher, trade for Bears QB Justin Fields in new 7-round mock draft

Now that the Atlanta Falcons have hired head coach Raheem Morris, it’s time to start looking ahead to the offseason. The team has roughly $26 million in cap space and currently holds the No. 8 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft.

There’s no denying that the Falcons’ biggest need is at the quarterback position, but how will they go about addressing it? While many fans are hoping to land LSU QB Jayden Daniels, he will likely be gone by the time Atlanta is on the clock.

In our latest seven-round Falcons mock draft, we have the team taking an elite edge rusher in the first round before executing a trade for a new starting quarterback.
