Dimitroff has resurrected that franchise. I hope Felix Jones signs in Atlanta next year. The Falcons have a 2nd round pick and a 3rd round pick waiting in the pipeline of their offensive line. They have a pretty young line, too. Matt Ryan is becoming an elite quarterback, too.
Brian Billick knocks it out of the park here.

I'd recommend reading The War Room by Michael Holley. He provides a lot of background on Dimitroff and how he came up working with Belichick and Pioli.
That is what a GM should be......someone who came up as a scout and worked under some experienced professionals.
