The Falcons made their first mistake in the fourth round. Can we find a better replacement?

The Pick: Malliciah Goodman, Defensive End, 127th Overall

Their Impact: Goodman spent 3 years with the Falcons, and brought in 28 tackles. He was a poor draft pick having a very little impact on the team and failing to develop the way the team had hoped he would.  He left the Falcons and his career ended shortly afterward.

Who Else Was Available That Round?: The Falcons are basically choosing between Kyle Juszczyk and Devin Taylor.

Taylor seems to be the better option here based on team need and the fact we already drafted Bruce Miller. Taylor is an average player but would have a much bigger impact on the team than either of the other two options here.

Would the Falcons Change Their Pick?: Yes.

Taylor has much more production than Goodman and is still in the NFL.
