A new era for the Atlanta Falcons has arrived, and there is certainly a level of excitement amongst fans. Owner Arthur Blank and team president Rich McKay have chosen Terry Fontenot and Arthur Smith to replace Thomas Dimitroff and Dan Quinn, respectively. Naturally, there will be many changes in front office personnel, coaching staff, team philosophy and roster development.
At this point, I’m sure Fontenot and Smith have discussed how they want to build the team and the type of players that Smith and his staff will covet in free agency and the draft. The question is, how different will their draft philosophy be from the previous regime’s?
