Matt Ryan Will Be Better Protected
6 years agoThe Atlanta Falcons made it a priority to get quarterback Matt Ryan some more protection on the offensive line in last week's draft, selecting two offensive linemen in the first round last Thursday after Ryan was sacked 42 times in 2018, the second highest total of his career. Guard Chris Lindstrom was the 14th overall pick and right tackle Kaleb McGary went 31st overall. It was just the second time the Falcons took two offensive linemen with their first two picks since 2012. Head coach Dan Quinn is hesitant to name both rookies immediate starters, but there's a chance they both slot in right away.
