The Falcons will look to revive their defense via the draft

I don’t claim to know exactly who the Falcons are going to come away with in the 2019 NFL Draft, nor whether they’ll trade up, down, or all around. What I do know is that they’ve set themselves up well to do what Dan Quinn loves more than anything in the world: Draft a bunch of defenders.

Atlanta’s offseason to this point was spent clearing cap space and starting spots on both sides of the ball, but their free agency to this point has been concentrated on offense. They added their traditional veteran blocking tight end, two starting-caliber guards, and a speedy backup running back with special teams value.
