Falcons: To Paraphrase The Roots. "How We Get Over"

[JDaveG]

I'm seriously concerned about the front office's view of our defense. I'm hoping we're taking it year at a time. If you look at last year's draft, it was obvious we were concentrating on the o-line and blocking. Konz, Holmes, Ewing out the gate. Then Massaquoi, Mitchell, Robertson late. I'd frankly like to see that flipped this year, but a bit more mixed up. Perhaps DT, DE, LB in the 1st and 2nd, RB or TE in the 3rd, maybe late flyers at DB, WR, RB/TE (whichever we don't get in the 3rd), etc. Some young talent on that d-line, especially a fat space eater in the middle, would do wonders for our defense. If we're going to do more 3-4, we need more (and better) linebackers too. A lot of work to do with 7-9 picks.

Hopefully they'll pick up some of the pieces in FA. I really wanted Soliai this past offseason, but it wasn't to be.
