The Atlanta Falcons, New Orleans Saints, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers all had picks in the first-round draft in the 2018 NFL Draft. Both the Saints and Bucs traded up and down the board to take players they felt were franchise altering talent.

The Falcons used their 26th overall pick on Alabama’s Calvin Ridley.
The Atlanta Falcons have seriously bolstered their offense. While many may argue that the Falcons should have bolstered their interior offensive line or defensive secondary, the impact that Ridley will have on an already potent offensive attack cannot be understated.
