The long-awaited week is here as the stage is set for the Falcons to maximize another great opportunity to add talent and build potential franchise cornerstones. A top-ten pick always has to be cherished, especially for a team that will likely go in the opposite direction of most other franchises. This is expected to be an offensive-heavy first round where many top prospects are offensive players.
That aligns nicely for Terry Fontenot and Raheem Morris, who will be looking to pinpoint which defensive prospects can grow into All-Pro caliber players. There are plenty of options with the eighth overall pick.
