Atlanta coach Dan Quinn has been fired after the Falcons dropped to 0-5 for the first time since 1997. The move came just hours after the Falcons lost to the Carolina Panthers 23-16, Sunday, Oct. 11, 2020. The team also fired longtime general manager Thomas Dimitroff, who had been with the team since 2008. (AP Photo/Brynn Anderson, File)

Dimitroff will be operating his 13th NFL draft as the Atlanta Falcons' general manager from the solitude of his home, following the mandate placed on each team by commissioner Roger Goodell. Dimitroff has made a trade in each of his 12 previous drafts. Don't bet against the trade-happy GM extending that streak this year. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy, File)
