The Falcons top brass were nervous before training camp after drafting high volatility players in the first five rounds of the draft but breathed a sigh of relief when the rookies mostly lived up to their potential.
1st round QB +8/0 - a solid camp for the future franchise QB
2nd round CB +12/+8 - bosses delighted with a fantastic camp
3rd round WR +18/+5 - not a speedster but another fantastic camp
4th round RG - +5/-12 - a bust and definitely not what the team were hoping for
5th round LB - +0/-14 - a bust and despite his speed unlikely to stick
6th round C - +6/0 - solid camp and a decent outcome for a 6th rounder
7th round LT - +1/-2 - preseason depth at least
Hitting on the first three picks of the draft is a huge boost for the Falcons but with the all conquering Bucs and the excellent Panthers in their division it will still be a hard season ahead.
