Just how bad was the Falcons trade?

Falcons have decent depth after Jones and White. Harry Douglas' injury might still affect him this season though.

My view on fourth rounders is that you be expecting decent special teamers and depth players. The Falcons have one of the best special teams units in the league, so their 4th rounders are not major losses.

However, they might be passing up 3 good players for them for Jones. It seems like that they're "addressing" their D by keeping them off the field as much as possible with their O and forcing opposing teams to come back from behind.
