Hunter Henry

The best tight end prospect in the 2016 NFL draft is Hunter Henry but his name shouldn’t even cross the Atlanta Falcons’ mind. Sure, he’s a solid player that should have a decent career, but using a second-round pick on him wouldn’t be the smartest move for the team.

The Falcons already have Jacob Tamme on the roster so there’s no need to go out and draft his replacement when the team is already way short on draft picks. Tamme had his best ever season in 2015 and that’s with missing pretty much two games due to a concussion. The Falcons would be wise to hold off on drafting a tight end until next year.
