re: Where do the Falcons sit in the upcoming draft?

Falcons are picking 16 and need lots of help on the defensive line. They'll need at least one linebacker with Campbell leaving, a TE to possibly replace Hooper if he gets too expensive, a RB to replace Freeman, another guard, and maybe a center if Mack becomes a cap casualty.

Most mocks have us taking DL in 1st round... barring some crazy picks, I have to agree. We could have had the #1 pick and we still wouldn't have gone QB in this class in all likelihood. We'd just have made a megatrade back and let whoever go pick him up. Functionally, the team has too many holes to go after a QB anywhere but a late late round in this draft (and even then probably not - maybe go after a UDFA?)...
