In the 208th episode of The Bow Tie Chronicles, we break down the Falcons’ 53-man roster. The Falcons replaced 19 players (35.9 percent) from the 53-man roster that ended last season at Tampa Bay. Five starters -- left guard Wes Schweitzer, tight end Austin Hooper, defensive end Vic Beasley and linebacker D’Vondre Campbell -- were replaced, and the replacements look like upgrades in four of the five spots.
