Quarterback isn't one of them, but you can't argue that the Atlanta Falcons are not talented at most positions, offensively. Heading into the 2026 season they have one of the league's best offensive lines, in addition to a superstar running back and top-10 performers at wide receiver and tight end.
CBS Sports has a new batch of top-10 rankings for each offensive position in the NFL. Atlanta landed four players on their list, beginning with Bijan Robinson coming in at No. 1 at running back.
"Robinson led the NFL with 2,298 yards from scrimmage last year, a category he has improved upon every year of his three-year pro career. His 820 receiving yards were nearly double his previous career high. He also led the NFL with a 30% tackle avoidance rate."
Next, the Falcons' big money man Drake London squeezed in at No. 9 in their wide receiver rankings.
"London is a big, ball-winning wide receiver who snatches anything near him and turns 50/50 balls into 80/20 balls. He has been held back by quarterback play likely will be again this year, but he can bully less physical opponents and is excellent in the red zone."
At tight end, Kyle Pitts came in at No. 8.
"After three poor years, Pitts returned to the level his No. 4 overall pick and sterling rookie season seemed to portend. His magnum opus was an 11-catch, 166-yard, three-touchdown day against the Buccaneers in December."
Finally, guard Chris Lindstrom landed at No. 6 in their interior offensive line rankings.
"Just pencil in Lindstrom for a Pro Bowl berth and second-team All-Pro selection at this point; he's had both each of the past four seasons. He has also been PFF's No. 1- or No. 2-graded guard all four of those years."
If there's a problem with this group (outside of the gaping roster hole at quarterback) it's the somewhat top-heavy dynamic they have going at wide receiver and tight end, where they have no proven No. 2 options. The hope is that either free agent pickup Jahan Dotson or rookie Zachariah Branch will fill the WR2 role beneath London, and returning veteran Austin Hooper should at least offer passable play behind Pitts at tight end.
It's a lot of talent, but it'll go to waste if Cooper Rush winds up being Atlanta's best option to start at quarterback - which is a distinct possibility given the state of the QB room right now.
