The 2024 NFL Draft is only two weeks away. What will the Falcons do with pick No. 8? There is a lot of speculation surrounding the pick, including the Falcons not picking at eight at all. Should the Falcons trade back and take the chance on "their guy" being there where the experts say he should go? The guy that I am referring to is pass-rusher Dallas Turner out of the University of Alabama.
Draft experts are saying that Turner is not worthy of a top-10 pick, and that this is a thin pass-rush draft class. Because of this analysis, it is being recommended by the experts that the Falcons should trade back into the teens, where Turner should still be and draft him there.
After, they would have another first-round pick to address another need. No one knows the intentions of other teams in the draft. As Randy McMichael and Rob Tribble discuss: DO NOT WAIT.
If Turner is indeed their guy, they need not try to get cute, and take him then and there.
