Top 5 offensive line prospects

2. Riley Reiff 6-5            313              Iowa                   1st

Comment: He was a first-team all-Big Ten tackle last season.

3. Cordy Glenn 6-5           345            Georgia               1st

Comment: ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper projects him as a guard, but he'll get a shot at left tackle.

4. David DeCastro 6-4           314             Stanford              1st

Comment: He's the top-rated guard and perhaps best interior lineman in the draft.

5. Jonathan Martin 6-5          312             Stanford              1st

Comment: He started 37 games over three seasons with the Cardinal, protecting quarterback Andrew Luck's blindside.

Falcons need: The Falcons must improve their pass protection in order to successfully implement new offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter's vertical passing attack. They want to run the ball more efficiently in short-yardage situations. They will likely take a tackle in case Sam Baker [back, elbow] does not return to good health. The rookie could provide depth and eventually compete for playing time with Baker and Will Svitek. California left tackle Mitchell Schwartz has been heavily scouted by the Falcons.

Others in need: Vikings (3rd overall pick), Jaguars (7), Bills (10), Cardinals (13), Bengals (17), Chargers (18), Lions (23), Steelers (24) and 49ers (30).

Comment: "It's a little better on the interior, specifically at guard, which is [different from what] it has been in recent years. The tackles are still good. It's just not as deep as it has been and center is not very deep."
