Tuesday’s season-ending Falcons press conference was light on illumination. General manager Terry Fontenot and head coach Arthur Smith are not exactly prone to giving away state secrets, and as Fontenot noted early in the presser, the team has a lot of work ahead to evaluate players and formulate their plan for the offseason with free agency and the draft already alarmingly close. That last part was me editorializing, by the way.
While there was not much that was novel, there was a reiteration of a theme that’s going to be important for the draft now and in the future.
