With the first of their two seventh-round selections, the Falcons could find good value in defensive end Cedric Reed.

Reed brings good size at 6’5″ and 269 pounds, and has some athleticism despite his size. Consistency is the biggest concern, but he would provide the Falcons with raw talent they can work with.

He finished his four years in Texas with 173 tackles, 18.5 sacks and eight pass defenses. The upside is there, and Dan Quinn might feel he can develop Reed into an important part of the defense.
