The Atlanta Falcons chose a 1,000-yard receiver in Drake London on the first day of the 2022 NFL draft and a 1,000-yard rusher in Tyler Allgeier on the last. Sandwiched in between was a day once filled with great promise -- but is now marked by an ever-growing feeling of what could've been.

The Falcons have glaring needs on defense and should think about the future of the offensive line. What will they do with the 15th pick?

The Atlanta Falcons are entering their fifth draft under general manager Terry Fontenot, but for the first time in five years, they don't have a top-10 pick. The team has mostly hit on its first-round picks since Fontenot took over in 2021. Even former No. 4 pick Kyle Pitts had the best rookie season by a tight end in 60 years.

The Falcons entered free agency with questions along their defensive front and at nickel corner, strong safety and linebacker. Edge rusher Leonard Floyd, who signed a one-year, $10 million deal, is Atlanta's only free agent addition with a cap hit greater than $5 million in 2025.

Kyle Pitts has been a rollercoaster since coming into the league and could be on a new team come draft day.

The possibility of selecting an offensive player early in the draft (yes, really), job security issues, Trey Hendrickson and Grady Jarrett — and plenty of other things — came up, too, so here’s what I’m hearing after the league meeting.

The new-look Jets cut quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver Davante Adams and handed Justin Fields a two-year deal in free agency. An offense with Fields, Garrett Wilson, Breece Hall and Allen Lazard has promise, but adding a player like Kyle Pitts could take this offense to another level.

Yes, the Raiders just traded for Geno Smith in a deal with Seattle. But while giving Smith a contract extension after that trade, they didn’t make much of a long-term commitment to him — $66.5 million over two years, with a team option for 2027, the deal’s final year.

Will the NY Giants still take a swing for a QB of the future if they pass on one at No. 3? That could happen. Our latest 7-round projection is here
