The Atlanta Falcons filled many of their needs via the draft and free agency this offseason, but there was no way to address them all. At the top of the Falcons’ list of concerns is the left guard position, which has no clear cut starter going into OTAs and training camp.
The Falcons’ have plenty of competition for the position, though none of them inspire much confidence. Free agent acquisitions G/T Mike Person and G Jared Smith, along with last year’s depth players G Harland Gunn and C/G James Stone (who is likely to become the Falcons’ back-up center) are expected to battle for the starting job over the next few months.
