The Atlanta Falcons have restructured their front office, giving more responsibility to assistant general manager Scott Pioli.

Pioli will run Atlanta's pro and college scouting departments while also taking over the team's draft process. 

Pioli will report to Thomas Dimitroff -- his close friend -- who will oversee the salary cap and continue to maintain ultimate control over the draft and free agency, per NFL Media's Albert Breer.

Pioli came to Atlanta after a serving as Kansas City's general manager from 2009 to 2012.
