We are now one week into the 2016 Atlanta Falcons’ offseason and the draft talk is in full effect with more than three months still to go.

Atlanta is heading into the offseason with a ton of options and could very well gut most of their defense before training camp begins next August.

Please take this into account before reading over the five selected positions. These are current needs and are subject to change. The Falcons could replace these needs in free agency rather than the draft and if that happens, their draft needs will change.

With that being said, let’s dive into the Falcons’ biggest needs heading into the 2016 NFL draft.
