Which position should the Falcons target in the first round?

Ranking the five positions Atlanta is most likely to target in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft.

The unpredictability of the NFL draft is something that varies year to year. Unlike in 2021, when the first three picks were known well ahead of day one, there isn’t a clear-cut No. 1 overall pick in this year’s class.

Here’s our ranking of the top five positions the Falcons could target in the 2022 NFL draft.
