Coach Dan Quinn says the Atlanta Falcons want to add a fullback and a safety among their four picks in the final four rounds of the NFL draft.
The team chose not re-sign fullback Derrick Coleman Case Keenum Jersey , the only player at his position on the roster, and it needs depth at safety behind starters Keanu Neal and Ricardo Allen.
The Falcons have a fourth-round pick, a sixth-round pick and two spots in the seventh round. They chose Alabama receiver Calvin Ridley in the first round, Colorado cornerback Isaiah Oliver in the second and South Florida defensive tackle Deadrin Senat in the third.
Another area of concern is defensive end following the free-agent departure of sacks leader Adrian Clayborn. Vic Beasley Nick Vigil Jersey , the NFL sacks leader in 2016, will move back to end this season after spending last year at linebacker and having a falloff in production, but Quinn still wants to improve the pass rush.
USA Football says 242 high schools contributed to the 256 players selected in the seven rounds of last month's NFL draft.
Lakewood High School in Florida and Serra High in California each had three players selected to lead the country.
Patriots first-round pick Isaiah Wynn, Packers fifth-rounder Marquez Valdes-Scantling Ethan Westbrooks Jersey , and Seahawks fifth-rounder Shaquem Griffin attended Lakewood.
Griffin, who is missing his left hand, was one of the biggest stories of the draft in Arlington, Texas Martinas Rankin Jersey , when he was selected on the last day to join his twin brother Shaquill's team.
49ers second-rounder Dante Pettis, Seahawks third-rounder Rasheem Green, and Ravens' fifth-rounder Jordan Lasley went to Serra High.
In all 12 high schools had multiple players drafted.
