Atlanta Falcons: Best available or need based draft

Every year though, the same question pops up – best available or biggest need? Many times, the two do not align, especially for those outside the top 10. Dimitroff recently told Atlanta Falcons in house reporter Kelsey Conway that best available trumps needs.

“Of course, we’re needs based [but with] that said, we’re not just going to go after someone because we need that position,” Dimitroff said. “We need to make sure that talent is matching what is on the board. We’ll never just randomly pick someone because we need a defensive end or whatever position.
