Fourth Round
44. Roddy White will turn 34 during the 2015 season, while the Falcons are mulling over cutting Harry Douglas which would save 3.5 million off of the cap. Depth at the wide receiver spot is needed this offseason. Rashad Greene had a prolific career at Florida State, but falls a bit in the draft due to size and speed concerns. However, he comes into the league as a polished route runner and will be able to help from day one.. WR. Florida State. Rashad Greene. 104. player
Fifth Round
DE. Miami. Anthony Chickillo. 138. player. 44. Pass rush, pass rush, pass rush. Anthony Chickillo could be a stud in the NFL. He was horribly misused in Miami’s two-gap scheme, but dominated in the East-West Shrine game when he was asked to rush the passer. He’ll be asked to rush the passer in the NFL and could be a steal in the mid to late rounds.
Sixth Round
44. The Falcons offensive line was a huge weak point for them this past season. Adding depth along the offensive line will be a priority with Mike Johnson, Gabe Carimi, and Jonathan Scott set to be unrestricted free agents. Douglas is a good athlete who would be a nice fit in the zone blocking scheme.. OT/G. Arizona State. Jamil Douglas. 169. player
Seventh Round
Justin Coleman. 200. player. 44. Robert McClain is an impending free agent so the Falcons could look to add some cornerback depth. Coleman is another guy who performed well at the East-West Shrine game and is now garnering late round consideration.. CB. Tennessee
Eric Rowe was added earlier in this draft, but depth in the secondary is never a bad thing. Williams could add depth at safety while filling in a special teams role.. S. South Carolina. Brison Williams. 223. player. 44
