According to ProFootballWeekly.com, both Lofa Tatupu and Akeem Dent will battle to become the Atlanta Falcons starting middle linebacker since Curtis Lofton left in free agency.

Falcons Select Bradie Ewing in the Fifth Round

Via Grits Blitz  |  April 29, 2012
Much like the pick before this one (Lamar Holmes), this pick came as a bit of a surprise. The Falcons have been talking all off-season about their vertical passing game so it make sense that the first non-lineman picked in the draft is a fullback, right? We didn't think so. Fullback was not on our list of needs for the Falcons as you generally pick up a fullback whenever you...
