Gwyn, a seventh-round pick out of South Carolina, will look to add depth to the guard position. The Falcons also drafted guard Matthew Bergeron in the second round, but the Syracuse standout is one of three rookies who have yet to sign a contract.
The other two unsigned rookies are third-round pick Zach Harrison and fourth-round pick Clark Phillips III.
