The Atlanta Falcons have no shortage of talent in their depth chart.  There is not one gaping hole.  As training camp gets closer, however, there are positions and players that you should definitely keep an eye on.

To refresh you on who is new to the Falcons from the draft, we selected: Calvin Ridley (WR, first-round pick), Isaiah Oliver (CB, second-round pick), Deadrin Senat (DT, third-round pick), Ito Smith (RB, fourth-round pick), Russell Gage (WR, sixth-round pick), and Foyesade Oluokun (LB, also sixth-round pick).  In free agency, the big names we picked up are: Brandon Fusco (OL), Justin Bethel (CB, Special Teams), and most recent pick-up Ron Parker (Safety).
