The Matt Ryan era in Atlanta is over, and the team will be moving forward with Marcus Mariota taking the reins at QB this year. Mariota had some success backing up Derek Carr in Las Vegas, so he is expected to take advantage of this second chance after things didn’t work out in Tennessee for the former Heisman Trophy winner. Cordarrell Patterson also broke through last year as a versatile running back, wide receiver, and kick returner, so it will be fun to see how he progresses. The team drafted wide receiver Drake London from USC with the eighth pick, so he should be a playmaker right away, and the team improved its defense with two front-seven picks in the second round before taking Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder in round No. 3.
