Draft season is finally here. Following a rather subdued free agency period, the Falcons are preparing to regain their status as a top contender through the draft. A repeat of the 2016 draft would be the dream scenario for Dan Quinn. For all the disappointment from last season, the rookie class looked extremely impressive as an overall group. The front office is putting together quite a resume of pinpointing which players could be difference makers in the middle-to-later rounds.
Unlike past years, the pressure has intensified going into the draft. They desperately need to land immediate contributors to improve in the trenches.
