NFL.com’s Rosenthal: Falcons have NFC’s “most complete roster”

In an article for NFL.com Thursday, Gregg Rosenthal documented the weak spots for each NFC team. When he got to the Falcons, he had a difficult time figuring out what to pinpoint.

“The most complete roster in the conference is brimming with vigor and versatility,” he wrote, “like the hair of the man who constructed it.”

General manager Thomas Dimitroff (and his hair) rightly gets a good deal of credit from Rosenthal when it comes to rebuilding a roster that had zero players in the NFL.com's Top 100 just three years ago, but now is coming off a Super Bowl and is widely considered to be one of the deepest in the league. He says safety is a spot that isn't as strong as it could be, but he can't find much else to note.

Around the NFC South, Rosenthal highlights Carolina’s offensive line, most of the Saints’ defense, and the cornerbacks for Tampa Bay.
