Round 4, 116th overall: OG Spencer Drango, Baylor

With four of the Atlanta Falcons’ top 5 needs already taken care of, they would be wise to use their fourth-round pick on an offensive guard. Spencer Drango played right tackle while at Baylor but scouts view him as an inside lineman and that’s exactly what the Falcons are looking for.

The Falcons have a lot of question marks surrounding their right guard position so drafting a player to come in and compete for playing time during training camp would be wise. Drango is underrated for the shore fact that he played tackle in college. Scouts love his size and I’m sure the Falcons do too.

At 6-foot-6, 315 pounds, Drango is as physical as they come. He always finds a way to block the defender and at the end of the day that’s all that really matters. Some question his run blocking abilities but time will only tell once he’s on an NFL team and asked to do it on a regular basis. This would be a solid pickup for the Falcons.
