Falcons collection of former first-rounders not by design
The Falcons can roll an entire offense out this season, consisting of nothing but first-round picks. But it doesn't stop there, as they've collected pedigreed players on both sides of the ball. But Falcons General Manager Thomas Dimitroff said it wasn't a prerequsite, after last week's signing of cornerback Darqueze Dennard pushed their total to [more]

Dimitroff: Falcons had no plan to amass first-round draft picks
Treadwell, 25, played in 53 games and made 16 starts for Minnesota. He caught 65 of 107 targeted passes for 701 yards and two touchdowns. Really encouraged watching him move around,” Dimitroff said.

Dimitroff on Freeman: 'He still has gas in the tank'
Tru is going to go out to Detroit, and I’m sure he’s going to contribute well for them,” Dimitroff said. Where Free ends up, we’ll wait and see. I believe he still has gas in the tank of course.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Terrell had one bad game really — the national title game against LSU — and it shouldn't undercut his pro potential. He's a talented, long cornerback who's fluid and good in man coverage. He's also our 46th overall prospect and lacks great ball skills.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Davidson was a bit too bulky at the combine, and his testing suffered a bit. But he’s a power end or a possible 3-technique who keeps his motor running and helps one of Atlanta’s thinner spots on the roster. Just don’t expect much in terms of sacks, and Davidson should play a key role on a refurbished Falcons D-line.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Alex Mack turns 35 this year, and Hennessy has some Mack-like traits (minus the athleticism Mack had early in his career). But Hennessy has the smarts, toughness and quick feet to make it in this league, and he could compete for a starting job at left guard until Mack is out of the picture. Surprised Hennessy lasted this long in a weaker interior OL crop.
