The Falcons won’t take anyone in the supplemental draft, but there are players worth taking

We covered this before, but the Falcons simply don’t pick players in the supplemental NFL draft. They haven’t made one in the last 34 years, and this won’t be the year that changes that.

This is, however, the rare year where a player or two might actually get drafted and make an impact. Josh Gordon in 2012, Terrelle Pryor in 2011, and Ahmad Brooks in 2006 were the only players since 2000 to make a genuine impact in the NFL, but this year’s crop includes three defensive backs who would be mid-round selections in the regular draft.
