#6 Atlanta Falcons: Jake Matthews, OT TAMU
Rory’s Take: The Falcons have a very rich quarterback and they need to keep him upright. Taking Mathews makes a ton of sense it simply means they will be taking a pass rusher in round two.
Chase’s Take: I can already see Matt Ryan smiling at the potential of getting a stud offensive tackle in Jake Matthews, with the pressure he had to deal with last season he deserves more help and time in the pocket.
