Atlanta Falcons’ 2024 Offseason Mistakes to Avoid

The Atlanta Falcons lost Bud Dupree and Calais Campbell this offseason. Their only addition was third-round rookie Bralen Trice. That was for a passing attack that was one of the worst in the league. It’s a consistent weakness for the Falcons and they continue to ignore it.

Whether or not the team tried to trade up is irrelevant. Failing to land the plane to add an impact pass rusher while spending a first-round pick on a backup quarterback is a failure.

If this is how you plan to spend your pick, you’ll need a trade or a free agent addition. Rotating it with Arnold Ebiketie and Lorenzo Carter shows poor planning. No matter how the duo fares in the future, history demands that you make a move.

Sitting and losing two of your best pass rushers and not being able to bring someone in is beyond baffling. It’s the same way the team approached the receiver position before this offseason. Ignoring the position and simply bringing in unproven players or veterans who weren’t impact players. That’s Atlanta’s approach now at what is arguably the most important defensive position in the league today.
