Should the Falcons draft a QB in the 2022 NFL Draft even if they don't trade Matt Ryan? FrontOffice33 | RiseUpATL
The Atlanta Falcons are entering a difficult and tricky offseason. Several decisions loom large following their fourth straight campaign that failed to result in a postseason berth. In some ways, 2021 represented a step forward. New head coach Arthur Smith arguably received maximum effort and success out of an undermanned roster that is largely devoid of talent on both sides of the ball.
General manager Terry Fontenot now has a full year of experience under his belt and has a better feel for the strengths and weaknesses of his roster. As he prepares to enter a crucial draft and free agency period, Fontenot's decision-making process regarding the quarterback position takes a front-row seat.
The soon-to-be-37-year-old Matt Ryan is still playing at a starting-caliber level, but questions regarding Atlanta's long-term future at the quarterback position are rather straightforward. Ryan isn't going to be around forever and Fontenot, Smith, and the Falcons must start pondering life in a post-Ryan world.
How the Falcons answered the quarterback question a year ago will forever be remembered, critiqued, and analyzed. Fontenot passed up on the opportunity to select Justin Fields or Mac Jones with the fourth overall selection, instead opting for talented tight end Kyle Pitts. The decision will continue to rage debates, but there's no denying that Pitts was extremely productive as a rookie pass-catcher.
If the Falcons decide to draft a quarterback, it's difficult to envision them doing so with their first-round selection. If Fontenot passed up the opportunity to draft a first-round signal-caller in a much stronger QB class a year ago, it's tough to fathom him falling in love with one of this year's quarterbacks in a perceived weaker class.
