What positions have been draft strengths and weaknesses for the Falcons?

The other day we discussed the positions the Falcons have been most and least likely to draft with Dan Quinn on board. Today, I want to talk about the three or so positions they’ve done a great job of drafting and the couple of position groups where they’ve either been inattentive or lousy.

Strengths

This has been a slam dunk, though Quinn isn’t exactly the guy going to the mat for running backs. Tevin Coleman was one of the league’s more effective complements and a fine feature back in his own right when injuries hit Devonta Freeman, while Ito Smith looked very good in his rookie year and should be at worst a capable backup going forward.
