"The approach, in other words, did not bear much fruit. It also cost the Falcons in terms of their ability to build depth, and in 2026, their first round selection for a new regime."
"The Falcons are using 2026 as a QB tryout year, so they should be interested in accumulating 2027 draft capital for a potential trade-up package."
"Bottom line: Beef up the pass rush and plug the remaining offensive gaps if the board falls your way. Don't borrow from 2027."
Terry Fontenot's five draft-day trades yielded limited success, with only three players remaining on the roster. This strategy hindered the team's depth and future prospects. New general manager Ian Cunningham appears to favor a different approach, focusing on building for the future rather than trading up. The Falcons are advised to be patient, enhance their pass rush, and avoid sacrificing future draft capital. The emphasis is on not compromising the 2027 draft for short-term gains, aiming instead to strengthen the team sustainably.
