Atlanta Falcons need a linebacker in round one of NFL Draft

That may help the Falcons alleviate their secondary issues for the time being, but the Atlanta Falcons need a linebacker more than anything. There is no question Deion Jones is the second-best player on the Atlanta Falcons defense.

His presence on the field makes the Falcons a better team alone. Besides him, Atlanta has Foyesade Oluokon and a whole lot of question marks. After signing Dante Fowler, the Falcons made it clear that won’t be a position they’re addressing in the draft.

But with a number of needs, the Falcons shouldn’t be willing to give up too much to get Isaiah Simmons.
