- Date: April 5
- Falcons pick: No. 12 overall (projected trade with Arizona Cardinals)
- Selection: EDGE Jared Verse, Florida State
Reuter’s analysis: “The Falcons acquire two mid-round picks from the Cardinals to move down four slots, and they still land an excellent pass rusher in Verse, who could make a Will Anderson-type impact in Arizona’s system.”
- Date: April 11
- Falcons pick: No. 8 overall
- Selection: EDGE Dallas Turner, Alabama
Filice’s analysis: “Wanna know why you’re seeing this pairing so often in mocks across the interwebs? Since John Abraham’s release in the 2013 offseason, exactly one Falcon has posted double-digit sacks: Vic Beasley in the Super Bowl season of 2016. Turner’s explosive juice and insane wingspan are special traits.”
- Date: April 11
- Falcons pick: No. 8 overall
- Selection: EDGE Dallas Turner, Alabama
Prisco’s analysis: “Their pass rush is a major issue. They have to address it, and I think Dallas Turner would be the right guy. He will be a better player on the next level than he was at Alabama.”
- Date: April 7
- Falcons pick: No. 8 overall
- Selection: EDGE Jared Verse, Florida State
Fornelli’s analysis: “I don’t rate this EDGE class all that highly, as I see a lot of potential quality starters, but not guys who strike me as game-changers. That said, Atlanta has a need, and Verse may not be an elite prospect, but he’s well-rounded and improves the defense.”
- Date: April 8
- Falcons pick: No. 8 overall
- Selection: EDGE Dallas Turner, Alabama
Chadwick’s analysis: “A record seven offensive players were taken to start the 2021 NFL Draft. There’s a good chance that the 2024 group could tie that mark, as it does in this mock.
Turner has a high ceiling as a pass rusher, something the Falcons have been sorely lacking. Atlanta has ranked outside the top 25 teams in pass-rushing grade in each of the past three seasons.”
