Atlanta Falcons NFL draft picks 2024: Round-by-round selections

The Atlanta Falcons underwent seismic changes in the organization, bringing in a new head coach, Raheem Morris, and signing free agent quarterback Kirk Cousins. Now, the Falcons can add cheap talent around Cousins through the 2024 NFL draft in downtown Detroit on April 25-27 to improve from 2023.

The Falcons have amassed a wealth of skill position players in the draft in recent years with Kyle Pitts, Drake London and Bijan Robinson, but struggles with quarterback play, turnovers and general inconsistency led to a 7-10 record and a third-place finish in the NFC South. Atlanta will hope Cousins can fix some of the issues, while rounding out the roster through the draft.

Here is a look at the Falcons' picks in the 2024 NFL draft.
