The Atlanta Falcons left the 2023 NFL draft with six new players — three on offense and three on defense. Each rookie enters the season with different expectations based on their draft status and the position they play.
After opening Day 1 with a splash by selecting running back Bijan Robinson with the No. 8 overall pick, the Falcons addressed needs on Day 2 by adding Syracuse offensive lineman Matthew Bergeron and Ohio State defensive end Zach Harrison.
