The Falcons' offense had several explosive moments in 2014. Among the many weapons quarterback Matt Ryan used during the season were running backs Steven Jackson, Antone Smith, Jacquizz Rodgers and rookie Devonta Freeman, who logged 65 carries for 248 yards and one touchdown, as well as 30 receptions for 225 yards and one score.

Despite the contribution from Freeman, ESPN NFL Draft Insider Mel Kiper Jr. speculates the Falcons may go after another young running back, among other offensive weapons, after likely targeting a pass-rush specialist with the eighth overall pick.
