The Falcons have their work cut out for them this offseason with potentially three starters leaving in free agency. Linebacker De’Vondre Campbell and tight end Austin Hooper could be too pricey for Atlanta to bring back, plus the team has already said it will not retain defensive end Vic Beasley.
We’ve looked at some different options for the Falcons at pick No. 16, so today we will examine seven players they could target with their two second-round picks in the 2020 draft.
Zack Moss, RB, Utah
Daniel Dunn-USA TODAY Sports2019 Stats: 235 rushes, 1,416 yards, 15 TDs; 28 catches, 388 yards, 2 TDs
Analysis: Utah’s Zack Moss is rising up draft boards, even drawing comparisons to Marshawn Lynch. He’s a ferocious runner that has good vision and is tough to bring down. Moss had a wildly productive 2019 season, averaging 6.0 yards per carry and scoring 17 total touchdowns. If Atlanta releases Devonta Freeman, Moss would be a good option if he’s available in the second.
