The NFL Draft is just a few days away, with the Falcons slated to pick 15th overall in the first round, and it doesn’t feel like anybody really has a clear idea of what Terry Fontenot and company are thinking. In an ideal world, the Falcons would probably love to trade back 5-10 spots and recoup a second or third-round pick in the process. Atlanta currently only has five picks in the entire draft, which would tie 2006 for the smallest draft class in franchise history. That’s not what you want when you have a plethora of holes to fill. There really isn’t an area on the defensive side of the ball where the Falcons cannot stand to upgrade. The pass rush has been the organization’s single biggest issue for the last two decades. The interior of the defensive line also needs work after Grady Jarrett departed for Chicago. Atlanta’s secondary leaves a lot to be desired outside of A.J. Terrell and Jessie Bates III, and while the Falcons’ group of linebackers seems set heading into the season, all of them are short-term solutions, with both Troy Andersen and Kaden Elliss free agents at season’s end. The offense is in a much better place, but offensive tackle is undoubtedly in play in the first round. With a left-handed franchise quarterback, right tackle has become the second-most important position on the team. Kaleb McGary hasn’t been bad for the Falcons since he was drafted, but they probably shouldn’t trust his pass blocking with the entire fate of the organization long-term. All of these issues really give Terry Fontenot a blank canvas when selecting at pick #15, which should make it a lot easier for him to land an impact player. If the Falcons are trying to address their pass rush, drafting the guy that led all of college football in sacks is a good place to start. Of course, doing it at Marshall is much different than doing it in the Big 10 or the SEC, but Mike Green put those concerns to bed at the Senior Bowl with his dominating performance throughout the week. Green is a physical freak with great instincts as a pass rusher. He could have an immediate impact in Atlanta and potentially develop into the 10+ sack guy the Falcons have been trying to find for over a decade. Armand Membou Membou might not be around when the Falcons select, but this is why he’s a dream target. Of all the top tackles, he’s the one that spent his entire collegiate career on the right side, a dominant force for the Missouri Tigers. He might be the best tackle prospect in the entire draft, which is why I don’t think Terry Fontenot would take long to fill out his draft card if Membou is available at pick #15. He’s a Day 1 starter that could protect Michael Penix Jr.’s blindside for the next 10-15 years. If you can find that in the middle of the first round, you don’t pass it up. Will Johnson Will Johnson was a consensus top 10 pick coming into last season, but a turf toe injury limited him to just six games, and it also prevented him from running for teams during the pre-draft process. Speed is the one concern scouts continuously bring up surrounding Johnson, so him not running has led to a fall down draft boards. That should be music to a team like the Falcons ears, who desperately need to find a long-term running mate across from A.J. Terrell. Will Johnson might not be a man-to-man stopper like Darrelle Revis or Jalen Ramsey, but he’s a perfect fit for a zone heavy scheme with elite instincts around the ball.
