Questions about Dez Bryant, drafting Florida players, Falcons uniforms, TD celebrations, more

Welcome to Straight from the ’Beek! The NFL Draft is 10 days away and you’ve got plenty of Falcons-related questions, so let’s get right to them. Just remember, all opinions here are mine unless noted otherwise.

Dexter from Covington, GA

Why is defensive line more important than offensive line in the draft?

Matt: They’re both important, Dexter. But the Falcons do have some pressing needs to address still along the defensive – and they’ll likely do so early in the NFL Draft. Remember, they lost two major contributors from last season during free agency, defensive tackle Dontari Poe (Panthers) and defensive end Adrian Clayborn (Patriots).
