The Falcons are teasing a defense-heavy draft. Will they actually do it?

The Atlanta Falcons organization is unified in its approach toward the upcoming draft, explicitly prioritizing defense due to significant needs, including depth on the defensive line, better edge rushers, and improvements in the secondary. Key figures like Terry Fontenot and Arthur Blank have emphasized the importance of a defensive focus, especially given the limited draft capital. While there's a chance of prioritizing offense again, the organization seems committed to addressing its defensive needs, departing from previous drafts' patterns of heavy offensive investments.

"The Falcons draft will 'be focused' on defense,' echoing a clear intent across the organization about prioritizing defensive upgrades in their strategy."

"With limited draft capital, the Falcons must be mindful of their selections, particularly their tendency to invest in offensive picks in previous drafts."
