The Falcons shook up their fan base last night
Womens Riley Ridley Jersey , snatching up two offensive linemen after a free agency period that seemingly addressed the exact same need. The reactions were mixed, but in short, they took an underwhelming approach to the first night of the draft. For what it’s worth, the Falcons have done a fine job retaining and utilizing their own draft picks in recent years. In fact, going into the draft last night, the Falcons ranked third in that category.What this says about the Falcons brass is up for debate. But the fact that the Falcons had more of their draft picks on their current roster than the Packers, a team traditionally heralded for building through the draft, impresses me. While there are draft picks on the roster the Falcons arguably should’ve move on from, there’s no debating the front office’s commitment to filling out the roster with their guys.

It’s been a fun and interesting draft season, particularly with the variety of positions that the Falcons have looked into in this class. Going into Thursday, we still have very little idea which position Atlanta will come away with in Round 1. I, of course
