This week, The Athletic's Nick Baumgardner published his predictions for the first three rounds of the 2024 NFL Draft. Baumgardner placed Corley at the #43 overall selection (the 11th pick of the second round) going to the Atlanta Falcons.

Atlanta missed the 2023 NFL postseason with a record of 7-10. Atlanta did not have a 1,000-yard receiver in 2023 or 2022.
