2019 NFL Mock Draft: Bills land Nick Bosa at No. 1
By Brad Weiss
The Atlanta Falcons have one of the better offensive units in all of football, and in 2018, they will be looking to make it back to the Super Bowl. After the 2016 NFL season, the Falcons looked to have a stranglehold on the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LI, only to blow a 28-3 lead in the second half.
Last season, it took a while for the team to get over the sting of that loss, but they rebounded, and ended up making it back to the playoffs. While their run was not as good as the year before, they proved they have the talent to get back there, and they should once again be one of the better teams in the NFC this upcoming season.
When it comes to the offensive side of the ball, the Falcons have the playmakers, boasting one of the best running back tandems in football in Tevin Coleman and Devonta Freeman. At wide receiver, they have the best in the business in Julio Jones, and quarterback Matt Ryan is one of the more productive signal-callers in football.
Where they should look to get better is up front, specifically at the guard position along the offensive line. Adding a player like Beau Benzschawel from Wisconsin would give them a standout guard on the left side, as he has proven during his time with the Badgers that he is a first round talent. With all the assets the Falcons have on offense, putting a first round pick on the offensive line makes sense.
