The Atlanta Falcons will have the eighth overall pick and will be well-positioned to add another elite talent with that pick when the first round of the NFL Draft gets underway in Detroit on Apr. 25.
Many predict Atlanta to prioritize defense in the 2024 NFL Draft following its free agency signings of Ray-Ray McCloud, Darnell Mooney and Kirk Cousins.
The clubs that are interested in particular prospects are beginning to take shape as the draft draws nearer and nearer. Teams are permitted to spend time with and interview up to 30 different college prospects during their top-30 draft visits.
None of these visits should be interpreted as a guarantee that a specific player will be selected by the Falcons. Following a lengthy list of workouts, visits and stated interests, very few players ended up with the team in 2023.
