2. Falcons
The best part of being a first-time head coach in the NFC South is that a division crown is very much a possibility. For Falcons coach Dan Quinn, he could be a solid draft away from being a contender right away.
Atlanta’s most glaring need is on defense, where it needs a truly dominant pass-rusher to set the tone. In addition, the Falcons need depth along the defensive line and in the linebacking corps, as well as more talent on the back end.
