Rob Manfred has been a busy man in 2020 and now faces the most substantial hurdle of all: finding the best way to go about resuming the MLB season. We have already learned that teams will have 29 players on rosters when play continues, suggesting that the first month or two will consist of a
In this year’s NFL Draft, the Falcons do not have any compensatory picks, but it should be a different story in 2021. How do the compensatory picks work? Well, while on paper, there are seven rounds of the NFL Draft. If you consider a round to be 32 selections, there are actually eight rounds worth
The NFL Draft is on track to begin in a little over three weeks, but preparing for it is as tricky as ever. With the coronavirus pandemic ongoing, teams have to meet with prospects over video chat. Pre-Draft visits and pro days have been canceled. The teams have the NFL Combine and the tape to

However, after the signings of Todd Gurley and Dante Fowler, the trade for Hayden Hurst, as well as some smaller transactions, the Falcons have minimal cap space.

While the results on the standings sheet were far from satisfying this season, the Hawks have a lot of positive things going for them heading into this offseason. They have a talented young core, a projected high draft pick, and a plethora of cap space to spend. At the same time, you could make the
With the Falcons cutting Desmond Trufant, you could argue that cornerback is just as dire of a need as a pass rusher. Isaiah Oliver and Kendall Sheffield have shown promise, but that duo is likely not ready to be the top two corners for a quality NFL secondary. While Atlanta will probably need to add
