Falcons would be foolish not to consider buy-low move for disappointing draft pick

One of the worst-kept secrets in the NFL is that the Atlanta Falcons are desperate for additional wide receiver depth behind Drake London. Casey Washington is injured, Darnell Mooney is finally healthy but has been a literal ghost, and London caught all but one of Atlanta's receiver targets in Week 9.

The glaring need will force Terry Fontenot to evaluate the receiver market before this afternoon's trade deadline. However, it's unlikely that the 3-5 Dirty Birds will break the bank to address the position, so it's more likely Fontenot and Raheem Morris what they do best: shopping on a budget.
