Daniels is an electric dual-threat with five years of starting experience and an absolutely lethal deep ball. That leaves Penix, Nix, and Daniels, and Daniels is currently my favorite of the group when you factor in Penix’s medicals. I think you can write down McCarthy to the Patriots in pen-he just screams Patriots QB to me. Behind the top two of Caleb Williams and Drake Maye, there’s a tier of prospects who could all theoretically be available in this range: Washington’s Michael Penix Jr., Oregon’s Bo Nix, Michigan’s J.J. Luckily, the 2024 class is a deep one, and Atlanta may be able to stand pat at 9 and have their choice of a number of prospects. The best way for the Falcons to fix their endless QB carousel is to hit on a rookie, and it’s finally time for this team to commit to drafting a top prospect in the first round. That’s also an open question at this stage.

Ryan Tannehill will be a popular name, as will potential trades for other veteran quarterbacks-particularly if Arthur Smith remains the head coach. While there’s a non-zero chance that Desmond Ridder could turn things around over the final 7 games of the season and lead the Falcons on a miraculous playoff run, Atlanta will almost certainly be looking for a new long-term signal caller heading into the 2024 season. This is the written version, but you can also find the mock draft in two alternate forms as well.

Round 3, Pick 89 from Jaguars, Calvin Ridley trade.

Before we dive in, here are the picks that I’m currently projecting for the Falcons in 2024: It’s still too early for a full mock-I honestly don’t know much about any of the Day 3 prospects at this stage-but I’ve got enough data for a three-round mock for Atlanta. Obviously, things have gotten a bit more interesting with Atlanta possessing the 9th overall pick, but don’t forget that the team is also projected to receive an extra third-round selection from the Calvin Ridley trade.

It’s time for me to take my first shot at a 2024 mock draft for the Falcons. There’s ample coverage of the issues with this team and the potential for a coaching change heading into 2024, but what about the offseason? Can this team’s issues be solved with a great draft class? Atlanta enters their bye week at a disappointing 4-6, and are once again slated to pick inside the top 10 of the NFL Draft. The Atlanta Falcons have fallen far short of expectations in 2023.
