Steven Jackson was let go early in the off-season, which leaves a gap in a vital position in an offense. And sorry Devonta, but I still believe that the Atlanta Falcons need another reliable running back in 2015.

Currently, the team has a sophomore in Devonta Freeman whom fans seem to love for his signs of a promising career in his rookie season, and Antone Smith who is regarded as a situational back and always hits the “home-runs.”
Where can they find this help? Free agency still holds RB Chris Johnson, who still seems to have plenty in the tank for a superstar season. Knowshon Moreno is a great receiving RB that can split the carries with Freeman. And who knows, maybe Ray Rice will be given a shot with the Falcons. The draft also holds names like Jay Ajayi, Tevin Coleman, or Duke Johnson.
