3 players the Falcons could trade up for in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Following Kirk Cousins’ signing, it was evident that the Atlanta Falcons would be reversing their draft order if they traded their first-round pick.

But with the NFL Draft, anything can happen. It’s possible that the Falcons will choose quality over quantity. Many of the teams that are just outside the top three are prepared to drop a spot. They would be able to acquire a few picks from the Falcons without falling below of the top 10.

The Falcons could very well decide to move up for one of these three players.

Drake Maye

Drake Maye has skill that is evident to all. While his arm is unique, his judgment is anything but. The Falcons would put no pressure on Maye as he developed by sitting him behind a seasoned, experienced quarterback.

Although Maye was long-predicted to finish second overall, Jayden Daniels and J.J. McCarthy are currently the talk of the town. The Falcons may choose to move up for their future quarterback, starting at pick four.

Malik Nabers

The Atlanta Falcons have made speed a recurring theme this offseason. To bolster their wide receiver position, they added track-speed Rondale Moore and explosive Darnell Mooney.

Why not carry that over into the draft?

Malik Nabers would be a wonderful fit for the Falcons. Nabers will be able to play in the “Z” position because they have Drake London, who will relieve some of the strain on him. Before the snap, Zac Robinson would move him all over the field to get him in wide space.

Atlanta would need to make a trade up to acquire the LSU receiver, whose value has increased over the off-season.

Marvin Harrison Jr.

The Falcons should move up to pick four in order to choose Marvin Harrison Jr. of Ohio State if they want a reliable wide receiver.

Marvin Harrison is the guy to get if you’re searching for a reliable 1,000-yard, eight-touchdown wide receiver, in my opinion. Although his floor is the highest in the draft, the ceilings of Nabers and Odunze are higher. Choosing between a “sure thing” and a high-potential player requires balancing.

It would be horrifying to pair Harrison with Drake London, especially with the other outstanding talent involved. If Terry Fontenot wants to place Marvin Harrison Jr. in the same situation as his father did with Reggie Wayne, he needs to take this action.
