44. The Atlanta Falcons are fully loaded with one of the best offenses in the NFL. Quarterback Matt Ryan throwing it around the yard to Julio Jones is hard for a defense to stop. Ryan’s offensive line gives him the time to deliver the ball to Jones consistently too. <p>Speaking of the offensive line, the also pave the way for RB Devonta Freeman to run the ball. There’s nothing not to like on the offense as only the defense is holding them back now. The defensive front-seven is on and coming as they get after opposing QBs.</p> <p>They just need to upgrade what they have at corner, on the other side of Desmond Trufant. If the Falcons had a dependable defense, they would be favored to win the Super Bowl. So at No. 25 overall in the 2017 NFL Draft, they select Marlon Humphrey of Alabama.</p> <p>Humphrey is a remarkable athlete with the speed and movement skills to play off-man. And at 6’1″, 200 pounds, he has the size, length and strength to play press-man coverage. So pairing him up with Trufant could have the Falcons favored to go to the Super Bowl in 2017. </p>. CB. Alabama. Marlon Humphrey. 25. player
