1. J.K. Dobbins

Now, this is the one final prospect that we regret the Atlanta Falcons not drafting in the second-round.

You know how bad the running game was this season? Well, what if you had gotten a potential gamechanger at running back in the draft?

J.K. Dobbins was taken with the No. 55 overall pick- eight picks after the Falcons selected- and he proved to be quite the addition for the Baltimore Ravens this season.

He finished the year with 134 rushes for 805 yards (6.0 YPC) and nine touchdowns. Though his playoff numbers weren’t as impressive, you still can’t help but wonder what Dobbins might’ve been able to do with his explosiveness in the backfield next to Matt Ryan.

How that might would’ve turned things around for the Falcons offense.

dark. Next. Young Falcons you should be excited about

In the end, you can’t just anything that happened in the past, but it still shows the importance of picks and how simple decisions can make major impacts on a franchise, especially in the draft.
