The Atlanta Falcons will be in the market for one if not two offensive lineman at season’s end and Kelechi Osemele will be high on their players to sign once free agency begins. Osemele has done great things for the Baltimore Ravens and is entering into the prime of his career.

Osemele is also very capable of playing tackle as well. Falcons’ right tackle Ryan Schrader is a restricted free agent and will likely be retained, but if for some reason he isn’t in Atlanta next year Osemele could move to left tackle while Jake Matthews could move back to his home on the right side.

Either way the Falcons will need to sign a guard and a center and draft one or two as well. I didn’t list a center on this list but that doesn’t mean we aren’t in dire need of one. Mike Person isn’t the long-term solution at center.
