G Larry Warford
Warford could step right in to play left guard next to Alex Mack and Jake Matthews, and the Falcons’ run game would immediately improve. Adding this veteran road-grader would also take away the need to rush another young lineman into starting action, and the team wouldn’t have to start James Carpenter. Warford was released by the Saints. What better feeling could there be than beating Sean Payton with one of his own guys?
Warford is a three-time Pro Bowl guard, and while he’s now 29 years old, Alex Mack has proven over time that age is sometimes overvalued. Todd Gurley would enjoy running behind one of the most talented offensive lines in all of football, assuming Chris Lindstrom and Kaleb McGary continue to progress.
This would also give the team options in 2021 if Mack wants to retire, as rookie Matt Hennessy can play all three interior positions.
