The Atlanta Falcons offense is suffering with Roddy White in the lineup.

White caught 43 out of 70 targets in 2015 and was absolutely outplayed by Leonard Hankerson when he was healthy. White has been declining for some time now, it began in 2013 thanks to an injury he suffered but he has not been the same player since. White hasn't even gotten close to getting 1,000 yards for the past 3 seasons and at 34 is looking at the tail end of his career.

White managed to play in every game this season however he only recorded, 1 touchdown and 506 yards. The Falcons need to give Matt Ryan some help as he was also dominated for most of last season by opposing defenses. Even a player like Marvin Jones or Mohammad Sanu would do wonders for the efficiency of this offense.

The Flacons could even draft a wide receiver at number 17 it would make sense for them to draft Laquon Treadwell however they might be a bit too high to reach him. The Falcons have a lot of work to do on both the offensive and defensive side of the line so it is very possible we see several major changes occur this offseason.
