The Atlanta Falcons cut ties with the last member of their 2012 draft class.
If you want to know where the Atlanta Falcons truly went off the rails, you can take a hard look at the 2011 and 2012 draft classes, which yielded the magnificent Julio Jones and not much else. With the release of Lamar Holmes, the 2012 draft is history with the team.

Holmes was a third round project with the kind of size teams covet, but he never really developed the way the Falcons wanted him to.
