They can not pick one and get more draft picks because they don't have to have one now. Getting more picks now, and future picks to trade up and get one next year is a good ( if not better) plan.

Plus you have the dissension between coach & GM ("Who are now on the same page") - the Falcons should be looking to trade down, but the sheer fact that they publicly are indicates they really don't want to draft a QB at 4 & it would be crazy to give up the amount CBS Sports listed for your choice between the 4th & 5th QB's (especially when there is still uncertainty about which QB's will be picked top 3 even if there is a strong Wilson/Jones assumption for 2/3 right now.)
