The Atlanta Falcons honestly did not have many needs on the offensive side of the ball. With additions to the offensive line and wide receiver corps this offseason, the only true position that was a flag for concern was tight end.
The Falcons have an aging tight end in Jacob Tamme, who has proven he can play, but the question is how long? He’s over the 30 year mark, and the Falcons need a pass catching target they can build and count on for the future.
That’s why the Falcons selected Austin Hooper in the third round.
