Falcons waive five players Friday night ahead of the draft

The second round of the draft kicked off, but the Falcons quietly made a move shortly before.

The Falcons elected to waive five players just ahead of tonight's draft. The timing is a surprise, to say the least, but there are no true shocks in the group.

The Falcons have waived safety Brandon Bishop, offensive lineman Reid Fragel, CB Jordan Mabin, LB/DE Jacques Smith and RB Ronnie Wingo.

The closest to a true surprise has to be Jacques Smith.
