There isn’t a team in the league that has a worse group of starting receivers than the Atlanta Falcons. Add in the fact that they have five picks in the first three rounds and plenty of cap space next season and they become a clear fit for the star receiver. While draft picks are valuable in a rebuild spending them for a player of Deebo’s caliber is a very easy decision.

He would change life for the Atlanta Falcons’ offense and give them a chance of accelerating the rebuild. Unless they find their quarterback of the future Deebo will have more impact than any potential draft pick. Even if Atlanta were to hit on one of the picks they spent on Deebo what is the likelihood of that player being top five at his position?

Deebo is in his prime as well just establishing himself as one of the best in the league and likely still has at least 4-5 great seasons ahead of him. Atlanta spending on Deebo is the right decision and one that pushes their team in the right direction.  After their questionable pursuit and failure to land Deshaun Watson and the subsequent Matt Ryan trade the front office could use a win and landing Deebo would certainly count as such.
