3. Swing Tackle Competition

The Falcons have very few weaknesses on their roster heading into the 2017 season. One area of concern, however, is offensive line depth, particularly at tackle.

Keep in mind, the Falcons were the only team to start the same combination of offensive linemen in every game last season. That kind of good fortune is not sustainable.

Therefore, it is important for the team to sure up the swing tackle position. As of now, Kevin Graf and Daniel Brunskill have stood out to Dan Quinn, but Graf’s recent injury puts his standing in jeopardy. Look for the uber athletic Brunskill to possibly distance himself from the pack against the Dolphins.
