The NFL draft took some surprising turns, and it led with the Atlanta Falcons coming away with wide receiver Calvin Ridley instead of the widely expected defensive tackle position. They finally addressed the defense, but not the tackle spot. They just drafted Colorado corner Isaiah Oliver.
Dan Quinn and Co. were sniffing around Oliver way back in mid-March. Rapsheet additionally linked the Falcons to Oliver.
That’s why it’s interesting, as a source recently told The Falcoholic, that the Falcons worked out two Colorado defensive backs on Tuesday who have the length and athleticism they prize.
