Patrick Mahomes (397 yards) just missed the mark as well. On the positive side, Dak Prescott was able to give us a rare 400-yard passing day in his overtime win against the New England Patriots. The Falcons have just six picks (and likely a couple of compensatory picks in the later rounds).The quarterback position struggled to provide much upside during Week 6, which unfortunately coincided with the first round of bye weeks in 2021. You don't draft for needs take the best player available. If you see a potential franchise quarterback and he's atop your draft board, I believe you've got to take him. This isn't some choreographed smoke screen though. It will depend on what happens with the picks ahead of the Falcons, possible trade offers, etc. A lot will come into play – and we may not know the how or why for some time afterwards. That is why drafting a quarterback is definitely on the table. 4 spot is valuable – and it's also not a position they want to be in anytime soon. Terry Fontenot has acknowledged that the No. I think this new regime plans to put its stamp on this team and build it so that they can have sustained long-term success. His current deal runs through the 2023 season. If the team makes aa dramatic turnaround in the next year or two and Ryan continues to put up solid numbers (and more importantly, thrives in this offense), I could see things getting interesting there. Matt: This is just my opinion, but I can see the Falcons moving on Matt Ryan in the next year or two, especially if the team continues to miss the postseason. I'm not ready to put him in the same category as Jamaal Charles though, Shawn. I think he'll be drafted, and a lot will depend on where he lands. I don't think he's a first-round pick and if I had to guess, that's probably why there isn't a lot of chatter right now about him. I'm not sure about his overall speed but in his short time in Oklahoma he broke a lot of tackles and was impressive. He's definitely got nice size, quickness and vision. In fact, Pro Football Focus lists him right at No. I'd say that Rhamondre Stevenson is one of the 10 best backs coming out right now. I do expect the backfield to look different heading into training camp and the regular season. Will they do it by committee or lean on a do-it-all bell cow back? I don't know the answer to that right now.
They've got to get better in the trenches, and they need some inject some life into the backfield – some speed, power and versatility.
I'll say this much: The Falcons definitely need to revamp the running game, and I'm not just talking about the running backs.
