In a strategic move ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons traded defensive tackle Ruke Orhorhoro to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for fellow defensive tackle Maason Smith. Orhorhoro, selected as the 35th pick in the 2024 draft, has accumulated 36 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and seven quarterback hits over 25 games. Conversely, Smith, drafted 13 spots later, has recorded 32 tackles, three sacks, and four pass breakups in 24 games. Both teams are gearing up for the draft without first-round picks, with the Falcons set to select at pick 48 and the Jaguars at pick 56. They are expected to focus on enhancing their defensive lines during the draft.
