44. . Defensive Tackle. Alabama. Quinnen Williams. 4. player

The Atlanta Falcons continue to fall, and you have to scratch your head at how lost this franchise has looked since blowing that huge lead in the Super Bowl two years ago. They have struggled mightily on defense, and incredibly, if the season ended tomorrow, they would have the No. 4 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.

That is quite the fall from grace, as they still have so much talent on both sides of the ball, but cannot get it done for four quarters. This past weekend, Atlanta lost to the Green Bay Packers by the score of 34-20, and you have to think a lot of changes are coming within this organization after the season ends.

When it comes time for them to draft in April, if they are picking this high, they should look to bring in an elite option at the defensive tackle position. While Ed Oliver is a great talent, the Falcons should roll the dice on Quinnen Williams, who some believe is the best defensive prospect in this draft class outside of Nick Bosa.

Williams has been a freak during his time at Alabama, and would be a perfect fit along a Falcons defensive line that has some holes in the middle. They have the horses on offense to beat anyone, and if they can get their defense up to par, they should be right back in the playoff mix next season.
