It would be fair to argue that the Falcons need plenty of help this offseason. I thought Arthur Blank’s assessment that the team was better than 4-12 but not any better than the .500 record many of us projected for them was probably pretty fair, in that Atlanta clearly has talent and kept games close, but have huge holes and absolutely stunk at closing out many of those same games.
At the same time, a new regime that is going to have to pinch every penny until it pops and doesn’t have a massive bounty of draft picks is going to have to focus their efforts on a handful of positions, because you realistically will not turn over every possibly weakness in a single offseason.
