With five draft picks in the first three rounds, the Falcons are going to have plenty of opportunities to select highly-regarded prospects and address significant positional needs. Arthur Smith and Terry Fontenot have to get it right with all these picks in the top 100. They should be looking closely at quarterback, wide receiver, offensive tackle, offensive guard, edge rusher, defensive tackle, and linebacker. That’s quite the list of needs for a team, yet it’s where the Falcons currently stand going into the draft.
The added draft picks give them opportunities to get creative at specific positions.
