Fake Falcon rumor
This is not a legit rumor, just my opinion. I believe that the Falcons are letting out rumors that they want to trade up to get the #2 pick not because they actually want Johnson, but because Tampa Bay wants Johnson. Tampa is in their division, and they will probably land Johnson if they stay put at number 4. So I believe that the Falcons are trying to scare the Bucs into trading up for a player that they would probably get anyways which would lose the Bucs talent, and make a higher cap hit by taking the number 2 instead of the number 4 hit. Hurting the Bucs is good for their division rival Dirty Birds.
