Here's a look at the first-half impact of the Falcons' draft class:
Takkarist McKinley, DE, first round: McKinley's explosive burst is evident after every snap, but he's learned quickly that you can't just beat the opponent with a bull rush. McKinley had two sacks, a forced fumble, four tackles for loss and five quarterback hits in 212 defensive snaps played. Grade: Above average
Duke Riley, LB, third round: Riley struggled with missed tackles from the outset of the season, although he made some strides after a heart-to-heart with teammate and fellow LSU Tiger Deion Jones.
