The Falcons are doubtless to be not on the clock yet. But they’d perhaps well assemble a resolution on the No. 4 retract sooner than the draft.
To that cease, they’re going to send a full allotment of three personnel to quarterback Trey Lance’s second pro day Monday at North Dakota Grunt, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported. Atlanta had a separate trio of coaches/scouts encourage Lance’s first pro day, maximizing the sets of eyes allowed to glimpse the main-round prospect.
The crew took the same approach with Justin Fields’ pro days. One or every of the QBs figures to be on hand at No. 4. Whereas the head three groups (Jaguars, Jets, 49ers) are overtly committed to taking signal-callers, the Falcons’ desire stays a thriller.
They may well perhaps well decide to alternate down, and Pelissero well-known they’ve got calls on the fourth general option. This kind of switch may well perhaps well aid top off a roster that has strongly regressed since the franchise’s Wide Bowl high-tail four years ago. Atlanta already has 9 picks in this draft, nonetheless, and staying assign approach their favourite non-QB prospect would be there for the taking.
Obviously, right here is a assorted probability to snatch Matt Ryan‘s successor with the posh of sitting him for a whereas. Lance, curiously, is widely considered as being the rawest of the head QB possibilities but with perchance a increased ceiling than others. Fresh unparalleled manager Terry Fontenot stated earlier in the week he wants to “stack factual quarterbacks” and that the draft used to be a “high time to cease it.”
That’s the reason they’re completely evaluating their alternate choices ought to they aid the retract, Pelissero added. There appears to be like to be many factual choices.
