"Sheridan, a Notre Dame product, was a third round pick for the Falcons in their initial draft class but never played in an NFL game."
"Andrews is the all-time franchise record holder for receptions by a running back and is third in rushing yards, and might have made a real push for a Hall of Fame career if not for injuries."
"Rade, meanwhile, is a forgotten but underrated linebacker. He appeared in 122 games (112 starts) over nine seasons in Atlanta, with 10.5 sacks, three interceptions, four forced fumbles, and one defensive touchdown."
The Falcons possess five draft picks this year, starting from the middle of the second round. This situation invites a look back at previous selections made under similar circumstances. Notable past picks include Sheridan, a third-round choice who never played, and Andrews, a record-holding running back whose career was hindered by injuries. Other players like Norwood and Washington had varying levels of impact, while Rade emerged as a productive linebacker, showcasing the potential of late-round selections.
