"Following another frustrating offensive performance and Ray-Ray McCloud's release, there are growing conversations about the Falcons' lethargic aerial attack. It's not challenging defenses as it should be, given the significant investment at quarterback and across the pass-catching unit. Failing to find a rhythm in several games against decimated or below-average defenses is problematic for a team with high aspirations. Despite not having many draft picks in 2026,"
"That could generate some realistic options for the Falcons to add either a vertical threat, a physical wide receiver who can block, or some form of both. Regardless of the type of player he is, the offense needs another viable pass-catching option. Casey Washington and David Sills haven't stretched defenses or created separation when called upon. Relying on Bijan Robinson to run 15-20 routes a game isn't sustainable if you want him to be at his absolute best for three months."
Falcons' passing attack has been lethargic despite substantial investment at quarterback and among pass-catchers. The offense has failed to consistently challenge defenses and struggled to find rhythm against weakened or below-average opponents. The team may pursue a late-round draft pick to acquire a receiver from potential sellers at the trade deadline, targeting a vertical threat, a physical blocker, or both. Current options like Casey Washington and David Sills have not created separation or stretched defenses. Relying heavily on Bijan Robinson for routes is unsustainable. Upcoming games against New England, Indianapolis, and Miami are critical for maintaining playoff hopes in a competitive NFC.
