What are the Falcons doing at RB in 2019?

The offensive line battle ought to be fierce. The young cornerbacks should push hard for real roles. But for my money, no position grouping brings more intrigue to the summer ahead than running back, of all places.

Mostly that’s because nobody expected the team to sink two picks into the position. I fully realize that Marcus Green is versatile enough to be considered a receiver, too, but this team went into the draft with an established (if injury-ravaged) starter, a promising second-year back, a former fifth round draft pick who showed off some physicality and skill a year ago, and a potential returner and speedy option in free agent signing Kenjon Barner.
