Could the Cleveland Browns find value on the failing Falcons?

The Cleveland Browns will look to be buyers as the trade deadline approaches. For once in a better part of a decade, the Browns are no longer rebuilding as they look to have a competitive football team. As they hit the midway point of their season with the Las Vegas Raiders coming to town, the Browns now have an 80 percent probability to make the playoffs.

With a 5-2 record on the season, the Browns still have a large chunk of holes on their roster they may look to fill as the trade deadline approaches. Should they look towards the offensive side of the ball at the deadline, perhaps Michael Gallup of the Dallas Cowboys could be available.

However, with most of the holes coming on the defensive side of the ball, the Browns could turn to a team who just fired their head coach. The Atlanta Falcons have a ton of individual talent on their roster, but have been unable to put it all together collectively as a unit. While the Falcons have not shown to be sellers at this point in the season, they are on pace for a top-three pick, and may look to begin gathering assets for the future.

If the Falcons decide to open up a firesale with only one win on their schedule to this point, could the Browns find any assets that could help their team in 2020 and into the future? Here are three prospects in Hotlanta that would prove to be an upgrade for the team as the trade deadline approaches.
