As of now, the Falcons have a couple of glaring needs on the defensive side of the ball. The pass rush needs multiple bodies off the edge, and they have to add at least one starting-caliber cornerback. That’s non-negotiable if the Falcons want to be competitive in 2024. Terry Fontenot doesn’t like to enter the
