The Atlanta Falcons have a multitude of areas to address this offseason, but nobody questions the team’s ability to run the football. Through 12 games this season, the Falcons rank second in the league with 1,920 rushing yards.
After averaging less than 100 rushing yards per contest for four straight seasons, Atlanta is averaging 160 yards per game on the ground in 2022. The last time the Falcons averaged at least 100 rushing yards per game was also the last time they made the playoffs.
So will head coach Arthur Smith continue to build on his team’s greatest strength, or will Atlanta look to address more pressing needs in this year’s draft?
A new two-round mock from Draft Wire‘s Luke Easterling has the team adding a running back in the first round and an edge rusher in the second.
