When the night began, the Falcons held the 44th overall pick in the second round, but after a trade with the Colts, Atlanta drafted Syracuse’s Matthew Bergeron at pick No. 38.
Bergeron is a pass-blocking offensive lineman who is expected to move to left guard for the Falcons. While it definitely isn’t a flashy selection, left guard is an area that has been a thorn in the team’s side for far too long. Atlanta selected Texas running back Bijan Robinson last night, so it makes sense to continue to build the offensive line.
