Falcons want a pass rusher and they could trade up to land one
D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal Constitution feels that the Atlanta Falcons will consider trading up to for Florida DE Dante Fowler Jr. in this year’s draft. Quinn coached Fowler for two years at the University of Florida and he recruited him.
Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff has made a trade in all seven of the drafts he has presided over, and even confirmed that there has been a lot of trade in recent days.
“There is a lot of discussions already about moving both ways with a lot of our peers in the league,” Dimitroff said. “A lot of it has to do with what goes down with the top three picks. That’s going to set the tone for how much movement there is into the top 10 and even in the top five.”
