The Falcons had no concerns over Zachariah Branch’s draft-week arrest before taking him in the third round on Friday night. Both general manager Ian Cunningham and coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters the arrest and charge for two misdemeanors — obstructing a public sidewalk and obstruction of a law enforcement official — didn’t impact their thinking on Branch.   “When you sit across from him, you understand what he’s about,” Stefanski told reporters.
