The NFL Draft is inching closer and teams have already started drawing up plans for which players they are looking to get. This year’s draft class is quite top heavy, with several marquee talents already set to be in the Top-10.

However, the last few weeks have seen several teams move up and down the draft ladder. And it seems like the Atlanta Falcons could be the next team to do so.

NFL insider Adam Schefter reported that several teams have contacted the Atlanta Falcons. Due to the Top-3 of the 2021 NFL Draft now locked in, franchises are trying to get the 4th overall draft pick in their hands.

And it would seem that the Falcons are open to the idea of relinquishing the 4th overall pick and moving down the draft ladder.

Given the situation with the Top-3 of the draft, it comes as no surprise that the Atlanta Falcons are being approached for their draft pick. This year’s draft class has 4 elite quarterbacks who will be in the Top-10 alone.

While the future of Sam Darnold and Zach Wilson seems secure, Justin Fields and Mac Jones will be up for grabs to any team that can get their hands on any of the remaining Top-5 picks.

Atlanta Falcons ready to relinquish their coveted pick

Several teams in the NFL are looking for a change at the quarterback position. This NFL off-season has been unprecedented in terms of how many quarterback changes, trades, and free-agency signings have taken place.

So any team that can get their hands on the Falcons draft pick will be desperate to land either Justin Fields or Mac Jones by the end of night 1 of the Draft.

For the Falcons, they will be hoping to bring in a good haul for their draft pick. The Miami Dolphins have set the bar in terms of what to demand for a Top-5 draft pick.

The Dolphins traded their coveted #3 overall pick to San Francisco in exchange for the 12th pick, a 1st and 3rd-round pick in 2022, and a 1st-round pick in 2023. So the package the Falcons accept will be along these lines.

Who will the Atlanta Falcons trade their draft pick to? Several teams are looking for a way to break into the Top-5 of the draft. The New England Patriots, who have their eyes on Justin Fields, could tempt the Falcons into giving them the pick. Whereas other teams could also make major offers for the pick.
