They got the pick from Washington.
This is going to take a few people by surprise. The Falcons needed to protect their new QB, which makes sense, but if they were aiming for T... one would think that they would have traded up a little bit earlier, before the run on O-linemen started. What counts is that Baker is a very talented guy who played at USC, and the only reason you might not have heard about him were recent injuries derailed his senior season. That's a bit of a tough thing, because you don't want to draft an injured guy. Nonetheless, the Falcons have taken that risk. What's surprising about their draft so far is that they've avoided the D-line, which I thought would be a huge priority for Head Coach Mike Smith.
