Report: Atlanta Falcons rookies earn high grades in 2016

Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff isn’t perfect. He sometimes falls off his bike. Occasionally he uses too much pomade. One time, in the McDonald’s drive through, he refused to pull forward. But overall, as GMs go, there are worse options.

There’s one thing Dimitroff did now screw up; not at all. He rocked the 2016 NFL Draft. NFL.com’s rookie grades came out this week. The Falcons received an A+ grade, earning strong praise for their rookie defenders in particular.

Dan Quinn showed tremendous confidence in his youngsters when he inserted Keanu Neal, Deion Jones, De'Vondre Campbell and Brian Poole into the starting lineup.
