All of the conversation around town is surrounding the Falcons' decision to draft Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth pick in the 2024 draft, and deservingly so. The Falcons just signed Kirk Cousins to a four-year contract and told fans they were playing for now. Although the Falcons didn't seem to draft to win now in the first round, they did seem to do so in the later rounds.
In Rounds 2-4 the Falcons drafted three defensive linemen: Ruke Orhorhoro, Brandon Dorlus, and Bralen Trice, who racked up 16 sacks over the last two years and led college football in quarterback pressures last season.
Trice's pass-rush numbers went a little unnoticed in this part of the country, largely because Trice played at the University of Washington. Andy Bunker attended Washington, knows a thing or two about Trice, and thinks that he may be the Falcons' best edge-rusher already.
But, is that a good thing?
