Falcons Wire

● By Matt Urben
The 2023 NFL draft kicks off this Thursday at 8 p.m. ET, and the Falcons are still currently slated for the eighth overall pick. The team has addressed most of its needs with starting-caliber talent, which has created even more mystery around what Atlanta will do in Round 1. The latest pre-draft rumor is that the Falcons are looking to trade down, and that’s just what we have the team do in our final seven-round mock draft. Atlanta sends pick No. 8 to the Washington Commanders in exchange for the 16th and 47th overall picks in 2023.
