The Atlanta Falcons tried to trade back into the first round of last week\'s NFL Draft after taking Michael Penix, Jr. with the eighth overall pick, according to a report.
Specifically, the Falcons wanted to move back into the teens for UCLA pass rusher Laiatu Latu. He ultimately went No. 15 overall to the Indianapolis Colts.
The New York Jets\' 2024 NFL Draft documentary on YouTube shows general manager Joe Douglas getting off the phone with the Falcons and saying, \"They want to come back up to 10, so they want eight and 10.\"
