FLOWERY BRANCH — Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff had two major goals heading into the NFL draft — get a starting cornerback and bolster his reserves on defense. Trading up eight spots in the first round to select cornerback Desmond Trufant solved the Falcons' biggest need, but Dimitroff used five of Atlanta's next seven picks to give the defensive roster some depth. "We feel like we accomplished a lot of our needs," Dimitroff said.
