Falcons move to No. 6 in 2020 NFL Draft order after Sunday’s loss

The Atlanta Falcons snapped their two-game winning streak on Sunday after a 35-22 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now at 3-8, the team’s playoff hopes have evaporated and it’s back to draft season.

One good thing that came from the loss is that it bumped Atlanta up two spots in the 2020 NFL Draft order. As you can see in the below tweet from ESPN’s Field Yates, the Falcons would pick sixth if the season ended today.

2020 NFL Draft order as of Week 13:
1. Bengals: 0-11
2. Giants: 2-9
3. Dolphins: 2-9
4. Redksins: 2-9
5. Broncos: 3-8
6. Falcons: 3-8
7. Lions: 3-7-1
8. Cardinals: 3-7-1
9. Jaguars: 4-7
10. Jets: 4-7

Atlanta will try and upset the New Orleans Saints for the second time this month when the two teams face off on Thanksgiving night. The Falcons are 6.5-point underdogs for this Week 13 NFC South matchup.
