Falcons power rankings: ESPN gives Atlanta a mixed grade for the future

ESPN put on its collective prognosticatin' pants and ranked all 32 NFL teams according to how bright their futures are. For Atlanta, that was...not so bright.

``The jury is technically still out when it comes to assessing the Falcons' 2014 draft class, but from where I sit, other than OT Jake Matthews, I don't see a lot of starting-caliber players coming out of this group. I said a year ago that the Falcons have been a poor drafting team overall since Dimitroff took over in 2008. How this team performs under Quinn will largely depend on the 2015 draft class injecting some play-making ability into a talent-depleted roster.
