Honestly, I have a rule of thumb: the most important positions are QB, LT, WR, DT, and passrushers. At LEAST two out of your first three picks should be at these positions. You need to be the best-stocked at these position.

These drafts all failed spectacularly. I can forgive 2011 because they gave up the farm for Julio Jones, but....

The executives/head personnel guys pick your first 2 rounds. In general, the 3rd day goes to the scouts. The Falcons' picks in the 3rd day are not terrible. You've got starters at Guard, Right Tackle, Middle LB, Fullback, Nose Tackle, Punter, quality RB depth in Jacquizz Rodgers, and most of these players have been good enough to stay on the roster. That's not a terrible haul for a fairly loaded team in the late rounds of the draft.
