Atlanta Falcons could grab these NFC North stars

Green Bay Packers:

David Bakhtiari – OT

Jaire Alexander – CB

Some may wonder why the choice was Bakhtiari over Davante Adams, and the reasoning is simple, the Falcons already have one of the best route runners in the game. Having Jake Matthews switch to right tackle, with Bakhtiari on the other side would be the best duo in the league.

Jaire Alexander is one of the best young defensive stars in the league. He is a shutdown corner that the Falcons hope they have in A.J. Terrell. He has not received enough credit for his play from last season.

Chicago Bears:

Allen Robinson – WR

Khalil Mack – OLB

The Bears offense is not exactly loaded, but Allen Robinson had a spectacular year last season, despite having some of the worst quarterback play in the league.

Khalil Mack would be such an easy choice for the Atlanta Falcons. While his name was not routinely talked about last season, he still was one of, if not the best pass rusher in the league.

Minnesota Vikings:

Dalvin Cook – RB

Danielle Hunter – DE

Yes, the choice is Dalvin Cook over Justin Jefferson. Cook is such an explosive runner, that when he is on the field it is truly a nightmare for the defense. Whether he runs the ball or catches, the whole field needs to be covered. It is just injuries that have costed him.

Danielle Hunter is one of the few choices on the Vikings defense you could go with. Hunter did not play last season, but the two years before he recorded 14.5 sacks. He was one of the biggest draft steals in the past decade.

Detroit Lions:

Frank Ragnow – C

Romeo Okwara – OLB

Words cannot explain how depleted this roster really is. Frank Ragnow is probably the best player on the team and someone that most casual fans have never heard of. He is certainly a great player, just not the flashy one.

The defensive side for the Lions is even worse than the offense. They do not have a star as of yet. Jeffrey Okudah could certainly be that for them, but his rookie year was a disaster. He just signed an extension with the Lions, so he will be counted on for the next few years. Romeo Okwara has been an underrated player throughout his career, as he has been a great pass rusher.
