The Atlanta Falcons have a surplus of draft capital in this year’s round of picks, and we’ve got an early indicator of where those picks might go.
ESPN’s Vaughn McClure reports that the team is considering using its fourth and fifth-round compensatory picks on two specific spots on the roster.
One of the reasons the Falcons were happy to receive two compensatory picks in the fourth and fifth rounds is because it gives them a chance to address two position of needs via the draft: return specialist and blocking tight end. The staff dissected both spots extensively earlier in the week during the combine.
