In order for Atlanta to have their answer at the quarterback position I would definitely say the Atlanta Falcons need to either trade up in this Draft to get their guy for the future or the Falcons make a trade in free agency.

Seeing the free agent market the options being:

  • Kirk Cousins
  • Ryan Tannehill
  • Marcus Mariota again
  • Jacoby Brissett
  • Jameis Winston
  • Baker Mayfield
  • Sam Darnold
  • Gardner Minshew
  • Tyler Huntley
  • Tyrod Taylor
  • Joshua Dobbs

However the QBs the Falcons can trade for:

  • Derek Carr (division rival/Saints)
  • Kyler Murray (Cardinals)
  • Justin Fields (Bears/hometown Georgia boy)

But if the Falcons go in neither of those directions and want a rookie QB, then who are the Falcons trying to draft? Caleb Williams or Drake Maye will most likely be gone by the time the Falcons pick. So Jayden Daniels may just be the answer.

All that and for what? Just to increase the odds of finding our Franchise QB from 45% to 60%?

We are more likely to find the QB if we simply draft 2 QBs in the 1st and 2nd round, set them up for a position battle, then plan to trade away the worse QB.
