Atlanta Falcons general manager, Terry Fontenot, will sink or swim after his first NFL draft this weekend.

Fontenot takes the reigns of the Atlanta Falcons from Thomas Dimitroff who had very few draft successes during his 12 years in charge of the franchise. Dimitroff whiffed on the last several draft classes, especially in the early rounds – with the exception of corner-back AJ Terrell.
