Say this for the Atlanta Falcons: When it comes to the NFL draft — the first round especially — they are anything but predictable.
Even when they do something right, they can still leave you wondering if they got it wrong.
In 2013, needing cornerbacks, the Falcons spent their first two picks on the position, taking Desmond Trufant and Robert Alford. Trufant is still starting but is just above league average. It’s noteworthy that Trufant was sidelined for the postseason when the Falcons made their Super Bowl run three years ago. As for Alford, he was finally cut after six frustrating seasons of uneven and undisciplined play.
