The Atlanta Falcons currently have the 16th pick in the first round of the upcoming 2020 NFL Draft. However, a lot can happen between now and when they make their selection.

According to Grant Gordon of NFL.com, Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff says don't count them out when it comes to making a trade.

“I think there's going to be a lot of really interesting action between (picks) 10 and 20,” Dimitroff said Friday on 92.9 The Game. “And again, I would never count us out because again we're a team that has been active (in past drafts).

That said, it is one of those draft situations where, given some of the depth in some of these positions, it does set up the opportunity to potentially move back. And you know, as long as I've been here, we've not been a real active team moving back. But again, this year may be one of those years that you could truly look at that and obviously acquire a couple more picks in different parts in the draft to use up to pair together to get up, of course, in another round.”

This by no means is Dimitroff saying the Falcons will be trading their pick, or trading for more picks. What he is saying, is that anything is possible.

The Falcons have some distinct needs, and if they can use their assets to get the best possible talent to help fill those needs, they will do that.

That could mean staying put at 16 for the Falcons. Or it could me trading up, moving back, trading the pick for a player or even trading other assets for more picks.

Whatever the case, it's pretty clear that Dimitroff and the Falcons are ready to explore every avenue. The door is open for them to make any move they feel fit. Now we just have to wait and see how it all plays out.
