As we are just a week away from the start of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons continue to meet with this year’s top defensive prospects.
Draft Wire’s Justin Melo is reporting that the Falcons were one of a handful of teams to meet with Texas A&M’s Justin Madubuike:
Adding to this, Justin Madubuike has recently held pre-draft meetings over FaceTime with the #Eagles, #Cowboys, #Falcons & #Ravens. He's also held more discussions w/ the #Titans. He's spoken the most w/ Titans & Ravens. https://t.co/VWchoxLat4

Madubuike is a 6-foot-3, 304-pound interior defensive lineman. Last season for the Aggies, he finished with 45 tackles (18 solo), 5.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one interception.
Atlanta reportedly met with South Dakota State fullback Mikey Daniel earlier this week as well:

There’s also the rumor going around that Atlanta is interested in trading up in the first round to acquire one of the draft’s top defenders, such as Javon Kinlaw or CJ Henderson.
