The Atlanta Falcons decided to shore up the defensive front seven with their two picks on day two of the 2024 NFL Draft. Clemson DT Ruke Orhorhoro is an aggressive, athletic freak up front who has a chance to be a true disruptor on the interior. Washington EDGE Bralen Trice was one of the most productive disruptors at Washington and is looking to be the answer to the Falcons and their long-time pass-rush woes. With the immediate upgrade along the line of scrimmage, expect an emphasis on the outside on day three.
With that, we list the players who could potentially join the above names and call Atlanta home on day three of the NFL draft.
