The Atlanta Falcons thought they could solve these issues through the draft and signing “serviceable” offensive lineman in free agency. The moves for offensive lineman are why Thomas Dimitroff will inevitably be fired.
The Falcons had bad luck with the first-round pick Chris Lindstrom landing on injured reserve but the Falcons still needed to find depth. Jamon Brown and James Carpenter were picked up during free agency and have been major disappointments.
Most fans will say they need to fix these offensive line issues during the draft, but rookies will not fix these issues.
