What are the Atlanta Falcons needs?

by GreaZzy on Jan 14, 2012 1:57 AM EST

GreaZzy from Revenge of the Birds here, and don't worry I come in peace. Since the season is over for us Cards fans(and unfortunately your season is over as well) I have shifted my focus to the upcoming NFL draft. I really like working on mock drafts, and trying to make the most realistic and accurate draft possible. That is where you guys come in.

I'm currently working on a chart which has every teams needs going into this off-season, both major needs and minor needs. I would be so grateful if you Falcons fans would help me complete this chart more accurately by providing your insight to the Atlanta Falcons needs going into the draft. Any information regarding draft strategy of your organization would be helpful as well.

Thanks in advance, and better luck next year in your season!

We could definitely use a new center and right guard. I think we may look for a guard during FA and address center in the draft.

Rather get center in FA

This draft is weak on centers. We might be able to draft Ben Jones but I doubt it. RG will be easier solving in the draft.

Im copying and pasting this from another fanpost to help you...

Left Tackle: Critical
Center: Moderate
Running Back: Moderate
Tight Ends: Moderate
Defensive End: High
Free Safety: Moderate

Everything else is low but you can never be to sure with ATL, remember last year…

Don't bother hanging yourself or shooting yourself, just watch Atlanta sports.

McClure retires.Hawley plays Center

By the time the Falcons first pick comes around,the only meaningful value left will most likely be a Guard.That’s fine since thats the most urgent need.By the second pick in the 80s hopefully they can pick up a project OT or DT that could develope in a couple of years.

Guards and 3-4 NTs are pletiful in this draft into the late 3rd round.OTs and 4-3 DTs are not.
