FLOWERY BRANCH — Instead of fussing about being down a couple of draft picks, the Falcons plan to turn their lemony situation into a full pitcher of lemonade.
Who’s thirsty?
The Falcons are in the final stages of preparation for the NFL draft, which is set for April 28-30 in Chicago. This will be an important draft for the Falcons, who hold the 17th pick, but have only five picks.
The Falcons had their fifth-round pick taken away by the league as a penalty for pumping fake crowd noise into the Georgia Dome during the 2013 and 2014 seasons.
