2. Odell Beckham Jr. is more than capable of replacing Julio Jones

If there is one splashy signing the Atlanta Falcons attempt to make this off-season it should be bringing in Odell Beckham. While it is going to be tough to pull Beckham away from the Rams Atlanta does have more cap space and can offer Odell a bigger role.

If Odell were to sign with Atlanta he becomes the face of the franchise and their number one and two options on offense. Odell is great for Kyle Pitts who won’t be getting all of the attention he did in his rookie season and give Matt Ryan and the offense a chance every week.

Odell coming to Atlanta is a long shot, however, it is a move that Atlanta should attempt to make. They will be helped by the fact that this is a receiver heavy class.  Arguably the best receiver in the league could be leaving Green Bay and you have Chris Godwin whose future is no uncertain.

There are at least five legitimate number one options getting set to hit free agency. This works in Atlanta’s favor allowing them to chase Odell and have fallback options in free agency.
