3 Blockbuster Atlanta Falcons off-season trade targets
By Nick Halden
1. DeAndre Hopkins
The Atlanta Falcons need to make the right decision early on this off-season and commit to building around Desmond Ridder. Go out and find Ridder a true number-one at receiver and be willing to spend to acquire that player. Bringing in Hopkins gives the Falcons three great pass catchers in Kyle Pitts, Drake London, and DeAndre.
Hopkins is just a year removed from being considered in the league’s top receiver conversation. Things have gone sideways in Arizona and it seems likely they will blow everything up this off-season and attempt to find long-term answers building the team the right way.
Similar to how the Falcons were forced to part ways with their veterans Arizona will likely move on from a player who still is in his prime when healthy and can help Atlanta’s young quarterback take that next step. Giving Ridder Hopkins takes away any excuses written in from week one give the young quarterback a loaded roster and Atlanta will quickly know whether or not they can play.
