8. Atlanta Falcons: Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas

There are a lot of questions as to where Bijan Robinson will go. However, everything that big media outlets such as Daniel Jeremiah at NFL.com and Dane Brugler at the Athletic is that the NFL views Bijan Robinson as one of the most can't miss players. The question with him is positional value.

However, we just saw two years ago that the Falcons drafted tight end Kyle Pitts over multiple quarterback options, as well other big value positions. They had Pitts rated as the highest player. It would make sense for them to take Robinson, who is pretty clearly the best player if you take away position.

The Falcons would then have top ten picks at wide receiver, tight end, and running back. It is a perfect surrounding fit for Desmond Ridder. This is a team that ran the ball heavily last season. So, while they have Tyler Allgier, he is a day three pick, and he will still get work due to how run heavy the Falcons are.

However, Allgier is an issue in the passing game, and Bijan Robinson is a huge plus. There are too many reasons why the Falcons would draft Bijan Robinson here, and not enough reasons why they would not.
