As many of you already know, the Atlanta Falcons are short a fifth and a sixth-round draft pick in this years’ draft which leaves them with the fewest picks in the NFL. The New England Patriots lead the way with 12 and the Falcons sit in dead last with their five.

There are three positions that the Falcons will likely address no matter what in the draft. Those three are defensive end, outside linebacker and safety. The other two could used on positions such as offensive guard or wide receiver but your guess is as good as mine.
