The Atlanta Falcons aren’t making it a secret that they are willing to move up and make a splash in tomorrow’s virtual draft.
While we’ve heard whispers for weeks that the team is considering trading up, reports coming from around the league indicate the Falcons have aggressively sought after a top-10 pick. However, this shouldn’t be considered unusual since teams like to feel one another out in case of a potential draft-day deal.
NFL Network‘s Ian Rapoport discussed the news during a draft preview segment, saying there were reports from multiple teams in the top ten that Atlanta had been interested in moving up.
Watch the segment below, as shared on Twitter by Rapoport:
