Julio would instantly become the best receiver on the Falcons roster

Julio Jones, as it stands right now, would instantly be the best option at wide receiver that the Atlanta Falcons have.

The Falcons have the worst depth at wide receiver in the entire league, there is no questioning that. Their best two options are Frank Darby and Olamide Zaccheaus, two players that the average fan has never heard of.

Enter Julio into the fold and the wide receiver group is much better.

Of course, you still have to add much more depth behind him in the likely case of him being injured, but there is no denying the fact that he would make the receiver group more respectable.

It would open up the ability for the Falcons to not have to press the wide receiver position in the draft if everything does not line up how they want it to. Yes, they would still need to take one within the first few rounds, but it saves them from having to reach with their first-round pick.

Just remember that the draft is deep with receivers, much like previous years as it seems to be becoming a trend every year.
