Pass rusher, safety and guard headline the list of needs for the Falcons.
The Falcons head into this draft with legitimate holes dotting the roster, even if you're particularly bullish on some of their in-house options. With the first round kicking off this evening, I thought we'd take a fresh look at those needs, rank the top five and then see how many the team elects to address with their eight selections over the next three days.
Let's break it down.
