2019 Stats: 70 catches, 916 yards, 14 TDs

Projection: Rounds 3-5

Analysis: 13.1 yards per catch and 14 touchdowns about says it all for Dayton tight end Adam Trautman. After an impressive performance during Senior Bowl week, the buzz around him is growing. Trautman may be the best option to replace Hooper, with one of the highest ceilings of this class but won’t cost the Falcons one of their first three picks. While it will be hard for anyone to step in and replicate his 2019 success, Trautman is big target, at 6-foot-6, that simply gets open and makes big-time catches.
