Atlanta Falcons: 3 out-of-the-box first-round options

Travis Etienne

No one is drafting a running back with a top-five pick.

That being said, the Falcons’ biggest need offensively may very well be running back. Clemson’s Travis Etienne would fill that void in a big way.

Etienne is explosive and he’s a guy that can make plays out of the backfield in the receiving game.

If the Falcons were inclined to trade back to the middle- or even later portion- of Round 1 with the intention of grabbing more draft capital, they could do so and then take Etienne, who would be an instant playmaker for that offense.
