Martez Ivey

Offensive Guard, Florida

The Atlanta Falcons won another close game this past weekend, as it took a called-back touchdown to seal the win against the Detroit Lions. Still, this team is winning the games they should win, and Matt Ryan and company look explosive on offense again. It is always hard to get back to the Super Bowl, especially after losing, but the Falcons look like they may just do it.

If the Falcons pick late in round one next April, they should look to bring in more talent on the offensive line. They bolstered their defensive line in the 2017 NFL Draft, and should bring in tackle Martez Ivey with their pick in April. Ivey is a big body, who can play on either side of the line, and you can never have too much offensive line depth.

Through the first three weeks of the season, the Falcons look like the team to beat, especially in the NFC. Many believed they would suffer through a hangover after their loss in the Super Bowl, but they have been great this season. They are one of only two 3-0 teams left in the NFL this season, and could be headed back to the big game in February.
