Falcons assistant general manager Kyle Smith explained after the draft. "… So, Xavier was a clean eval that way of seeing him do exactly what you envision him doing for us." Watts has begun to earn time with the first-team defense, although he missed the Falcons' sixth open practice on Friday after leaving early the day prior.
