The Falcons have vowed to go into the draft with the ability to focus on taking the best player available, regardless of position. To do that, they’ll need to feel as though they have at least given themselves options at every position of need, which seems easier said than done given that thus far they have had very little money and have signed very few free agents. It is necessary, however, if they’re going to put themselves in a position where they feel good about drafting someone technically non-essential but with superstar potential at #4, like say Justin Fields or Kyle Pitts.
