Last season - 9 - 7 2nd in NFC South
Team needs - DL, WR, C, S, CB, OLB
Players in - Dunta Robinson CB, Matt Giodano DB.
Players out - Tye Hill CB.
Draft Positions
1st Round : 19th pick
3rd Round : 19th pick, 34th pick
4th Round : 19th pick
5th Round : 18th pick, 34th pick
6th Round : 2nd pick, 20th pick
Total : 8 picks
Looking through the draft needs of the Falcons and comparing them to the players in list, I notice that they have already addressed the DB (i.e CB, S) problem. Therefore the remaining positions are DL, WR, C, OLB. The DL option would probably be Georgia Tech's Derrick Morgan, the WR would be Dez Bryant, the C would be Florida's Maurkice Pouncey and the OLB would be a reach, whichever was chosen. I believe looking at this list of players, that the Falcons will have to choose Oklahoma State WR Dez Bryant. Bryant is a top quality WR, and will give the Falcons QB Matt Ryan a big time playmaker to play with.
Last Season - 9 - 7 in AFC South

Players out - Dunta Robinson CB, Rex Grossman QB.
Draft Positions :
1st Round : 20th pick
2nd Round : 19th pick
3rd Round : 17th pick
4th Round : 20th pick
5th Round : 19th pick
6th Round : 18th pick, 28th pick
7th Round : 20th pick
Total : 8 picks.
Again looking at the positions of need for this team, along with the list of players out, you see that CB was a position of need anyway, couple this with the fact that they have lost Dunta Robinson, and I think its safe to say the Texans need a CB. Luckily for them, still on the board (according to my mock draft) is Boise States Kyle Wilson. Kyle has been ranked as a mid to late first round draft pick, so this seems to be a perfect fit here.
So they are the previews for the Falcons and Texans. Not long to wait now, just 8 days until the 1st Round of the draft.
