Free agency is just about complete at this point for the Falcons. The team set out to fill some of the many holes that were in place pre-free agency. Head coach Dan Quinn, General Manager Thomas Dimitroff, and the rest of the front office addressed certain needs at center (Alex Mack), wide receiver (Mohamed Sanu), linebacker (Sean Weatherspoon), and defensive end (Derrick Shelby, Adrian Clayborn). However, the team still has needs at the linebacker position, safety, defensive tackle, as well as offensive guard.

While the team is still kicking the tires on a few other free agents, the draft will be a hub for the Falcons to add some young, intriguing talent. With only five draft picks, who can Atlanta possibly add to don the red & black? Let’s dive right into an updated mock draft.
