Revisiting the Atlanta Falcons 2011 NFL Draft
Who did the Falcons snag in our redraft and what does their total roster look like?
In our re-draft, the Falcons added Chris Harris Jr., Richard Sherman, Tyron Smith, Joe Barksdale, Bruce Miller, and Matt Bosher.
This draft was a little short due to the trade up for Julio Jones (Smith), but we still added talent.
We got two of the best corners in the league, one of the best-left tackles, and solid contributors elsewhere.
Let’s take a look at how we’ve addressed each position over the last four redrafts.
Quarterbacks: Matt Ryan

Fullbacks: Bruce Miller
Tight Ends: Jimmy Graham
Wide Receivers: Antonio Brown, Demaryius Thomas, Austin Collie, Pierre Garcon, Stevie Johnson

Defensive Linemen: Geno Atkins, Michael Bennett, Calais Campbell, Cliff Arvil
Linebackers: Clay Matthews, David Hawthorne
