ATLANTA FALCONS NEWS AND WHO THEY WILL DRAFT

Atlanta Falcons

What they've done: Signed running back Michael Turner and defensive backs Von Hutchins and Erik Coleman.

Biggest statement: Although the Falcons are in desperate need of an upgrade at quarterback, new general manager Thomas Dimitroff understands that the foundation of any offensive rebuilding must begin with a strong running game. Turner's inside rushing power is a perfect fit in the scheme that new coach Mike Smith and new offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey will employ.

Unfinished business: Quarterback should get attention in the draft, but it is unlikely that the Falcons see one that is worthy of the third overall pick. Instead, they will probably use it on one of the draft's best defensive players, LSU tackle Glenn Dorsey.

We think Atlanta Falcons will draft RB Darren McFadden, Arkansas. Quarterback is probably the bigger need for Atlanta but a player like Darren McFadden may be too hard for the organization to pass up on.
