The Atlanta Falcons could make history as they look to bounce back from two straight 7-9 campaigns.

After the Falcons announced they had signed running back Todd Gurley following his release from the Los Angeles Rams, and Zach Klein of WSB in Atlanta reported they will sign wide receiver Laquon Treadwell, the NFC South team could have 11 first-round picks on offense in 2020.

Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk noted it would mark the first time in NFL history an offense featured 11 first-round picks on the field at one time and highlighted what the lineup could look like:

Running back: Todd Gurley

Wide receivers: Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, Laquon Treadwell

Tight end: Hayden Hurst

Tackles: Jake Matthews, James Carpenter

Guards: Chris Lindstrom, Kaleb McGary

Center: Alex Mack

Atlanta will need all that talent to come together in the daunting NFC South.
