Episode Details

Atlanta Falcons shake up their draft strategy as GM Ian Cunningham promises more picks and a Ravens-inspired philosophy to boost roster depth. Could this data-driven approach finally stabilize the team around Michael Penix and Kevin Stefanski? Host Aaron Freeman contrasts Cunningham’s emphasis on “at-bats” and sustainable talent acquisition with Terry Fontenot’s conviction-based methods, highlighting how increased draft volume could protect the Falcons from depth-related pitfalls seen in recent seasons.

Cornerback prospects take center stage as Aaron ranks the top 11 CBs in tiers, spotlighting Mansoor Delane, Jermod McCoy, Aveion Terrell, and Devin Moore. With KhaDarel Hodge released and Malik Willis rumored to command $30 million-plus annually, roster questions loom large. Key insights cover draft targets for CB2 and nickel roles, the impact of combine testing on player tiers, and how revamping the wide receiver room may reshape Atlanta’s offensive outlook.
