5-152: Qadree Ollison, RB (Pittsburgh)
5-172: Jordan Miller, CB (Washington)

Draft Grade: Protect the Franchise

The Falcons were very clear with their first two picks in this draft: they need to protect their QB and establish the run by adding two offensive linemen.

Lindstrom and McGary will both push for starting roles next year, and are physical, tough players.

Sheffield is very raw, but very talented. He won’t see the field in the secondary until he learns the position better, but his ceiling is very high.

They added two running backs late, and seem to want to get to more of a committee of backs, much like the Patriots do instead of focusing on one featured back.
