There were no less than 100 different tumors about what the Atlanta Falcons would do in the first round of the NFL draft, and about 99 of them included trading up for a big name defender. That, of course, did not happen.
The Falcons surprisingly stuck at 16 and selected AJ Terrell, one of a handful of corners believed to be in the second-tier of prospects behind Jeff Okudah and CJ Henderson.
So what happened? Per Ian Rapoport of NFL dot com, Thomas Dimitroff wanted to trade up.
