3. Atlanta Falcons
2019 record: 7-9 (second place)
Additions: EDGE Dante Fowler, RB Todd Gurley, LB Edmond Robinson, TE Khari Lee, LB LaRoy Reynolds, OL Justin McCray, WR Laquon Treadwell, TE Hayden Hurst (trade)
Losses: TE Austin Hooper, DE Vic Beasley, CB Desmond Trufant, G Wes Schweitzer, LB De’Vondre Campbell, DE Adrian Clayborn, DT Jack Crawford, RB Devonta Freeman
Draft picks: No. 16: Clemson CB A.J. Terrell, No. 47: Auburn DT Marlon Davidson, No. 78: Temple C Matt Hennessey, No. 119: Fresno State LB Mykal Walker, No. 134: California S Jaylinn Hawkins, No. 228: Syracuse P Sterling Hofrichter
2020 outlook: The Falcons have serious salary cap issues, which cost them some critical personnel this offseason. They will especially miss Hooper, who should develop into an elite tight end. Adding Fowler will help boost what has been an awful pass rush, but overall this is still a mediocre defense at best and it’s trending in the wrong direction. Offensively, Julio Jones will have to be near super-human to keep this team even remotely competitive. They also reached for Terrell in the first round and in general their draft class was pretty underwhelming. It’s hard to see Atlanta doing any better than 6-10 this season.
