However, this is not news to anyone but what is what happens when you look at who in fact made the All-Decade and how the Atlanta Falcons missed badly on many of them.
Playing hindsight when it comes to draft misses is low lying fruit. It is always easier to criticize after the fact than realize what the thought was in the moment. However, what becomes evident is that over the last 15 to 20 years under the guidance of Rich McKay and then Thomas Dimitroff is that they routinely miss of positions of need.
Of the 45 selections on offense and defense according to Pro Football Hall of Fame 2010s All-Decade team, the Atlanta Falcons missed on 20 of them; 11 of 23 on offense and nine of the 22 on defense.
