How did our redraft end up improving our team?

I want to start by saying this is one of the Falcons worst drafts in recent memory.

None of these players were long-term options and the Falcons missed out on several great players.

Obviously, hindsight is 20-20, but this class added nearly nothing to the Falcons championship outlook.

Updated draft picks are listed below, and the 2013 redraft will be coming shortly.

Quarterbacks: Matt Ryan, Case Keenum

Running Backs: Jamaal Charles

Fullbacks: Bruce Miller

Tight Ends: Jimmy Graham

Wide Receivers: Antonio Brown, Demaryius Thomas, Austin Collie, Pierre Garcon, Stevie Johnson, Marvin Jones, T.Y. Hilton

Offensive Linemen: Duane Brown, Carl Nicks, Garrett Reynolds, Tyron Smith, Joe Barksdale, Marshall Newhouse, Mike Johnson

Defensive Linemen: Geno Atkins, Michael Bennett, Calais Campbell, Cliff Arvil

Linebackers: Clay Matthews, David Hawthorne, Lavonte David

Cornerbacks: Richard Sherman, Chris Harris Jr., Brandon Carr, Jerruad Powers, Jason McCourty

Safeties: Thomas DeCoud, William Moore, Reshad Jones

Specialists: Kevin Huber, Nate Ebner, Randy Bullock,

Next: Matt Ryan Overpaid?

Overall a stacked fantasy roster we wish the Atlanta Falcons could have truly drafted. The 2013 redraft will be up soon as we continue to look back into Falcon’s draft history.
