1. Zamir White

Zamir White is the second-best fit at his own position out of Georgia speaking to the depth the school had on their title run. James Cook is a player that this site and many others have suggested as a great fit for Atlanta. His abilities as a receiver out of the backfield are impressive especially when you combine his speed.

However, Cook isn’t the only great fit for Atlanta out of Georgia at the position. Zamir White is a traditional running back but would be a valuable late-round pick that could help Atlanta establish the running game.

Drafting White would allow Atlanta to save cap space by cutting Mike Davis and pairing White with Cordarrelle Patterson or another addition in free agency. White is explosive and can make a house call at any moment but his ability to grind and run in between the tackles is what sticks out the most. White is the traditional running back that was paired with James Cook who served as the change of pace and 3rd down back at Georgia.

White finished his final season with Georgia with 856-rushing yards scoring the ball 11-times and averaging 5.3-yards-per-carry. White would be a solid addition and a definite upgrade over Mike Davis for Atlanta.
