Introducing the 2016-17 Atlanta Falcons roster review

Every year, once the dust settles on the Atlanta Falcons season that was, we take a look at the positions that helped to make the team a success. Or a failure. There are those years.

This year, for a variety of reasons, we let the dust settle a bit longer than usual. But now we’re ready to look at each position grouping in one of the best years in team history and determine both what they did in 2016 and how they’re likely to change in 2017. Unlike the coaching staff, the roster isn’t likely to undergo seismic change, but there will still be plenty to talk about.

A different writer will guide you through each positional review, but you’ll be in good hands throughout. Here’s when to look for each piece in the series.
