I wanted to see the team trade some of this year's picks for future picks, but I'm cool with the positions the Falcons took in the draft.
Coach Smith hasn't come out and said that Rashad Moore is his starter at the nose tackle spot, but Dimitroff said in several interviews that the free agent signings on the defensive line "allowed the team to go in other directions" in the draft.
Reading between the lines, he's saying that the nose tackle position has already been filled. And now that I've seen him in practice, I can say that Rashad Moore is indeed a nose tackle. We already know that Trey Lewis can play that spot too. Any other NT taken in the draft would have been hard pressed to make the roster anyway.
I still want to see the Falcons pick up one of the undrafted guys at that position as insurance and as a prospect for the practice squad. But the roster limit is much lower this year than in previous years, so it just isn't possible to load up with extra bodies for camp at every position. If Lewis has a setback in his rehab or if Moore gets hurt in camp, the team will have to sign someone else - perhaps Grady Jackson.
For now, we can probably assume the defensive tackle situation is like this: Rashad Moore and Trey Lewis have the inside track for the NT jobs. Kindal Moorehead and Jonathan Babineaux are the frontrunners for the UT jobs. Montavious Stanley and Tim Anderson are trying to win roster spots but are currently on the bad side of the bubble. David Patterson is just trying to win a job on the practice squad, and all Eric Butler wants is to come to camp this summer.
The selection of Kroy Biermann makes things a lot more interesting at DE, which is where Smith has said the team will practice him. With his aggressive play and non-stop motor, he'll probably do well on special teams. And since he can also play linebacker, he'll have an extra edge because of his versatility.
He'll make it tough for the practice squad DE prospects to have any chance at all of making the main roster, and Chauncey Davis and Simon Fraser are no longer secure in their jobs.
