Hello, Falcoholics, and welcome to this week’s Falcons Reacts Survey. This week we want to take a look at this year’s six-man draft class and think about which players might have the most impact offensively and defensively this season.

As a reminder, here are the Falcons’ 2023 picks.

• Round 1, Pick 8: RB Bijan Robinson, Texas
• Round 2, Pick 44: OL Matthew Bergeron, Syracuse
• Round 3, Pick 75: DL Zach Harrison, Ohio State
• Round 4, Pick 113 (from Tennessee): CB Clark Phillips III, Utah
• Round 7, Pick 224: S DeMarcco Hellams, Alabama
• Round 7, Pick 225 (from Las Vegas): OL Jovaughn Gwyn, South Carolina

On the offensive side, I think the most obvious answer is the 8th overall pick in 2023, running back Bijan Robinson. Since the question specifies this season, I’ll be shocked if he’s not the damn-near unanimous favorite here.

On the defense, I’ve got high hopes for Zach Harrison (O-H and all that). In my opinion, I think it’s more likely that the three defensive players could have a more significant impact on special teams than the defense this season, and hopefully we’ll see them develop into key pieces of the defense down the line.

Take our survey below, and be sure to scroll down to the comments section and talk it out with other fans. Stay tuned for results later this week!
