44. Another major need for the Atlanta Falcons is to improve their tight end position. They had Levin Toilolo as their starter this past season, but he simply didn’t look like a legitimate starting tight end that Atlanta will want to keep around for the next few season. <p>Maxx Williams is the best tight end in the 2015 draft class, and showed a lot of talent with the Minnesota Gophers last season. He ended up catching 36 passes for 569 yards and eight touchdowns. At 6’4″ and 250 pounds, Williams would be a very interesting fit in the Falcons offense.</p> <p>Matt Ryan is one of the more underrated quarterbacks in the NFL, and adding a talented target like Williams would help him even more.</p> <p>Don’t be surprised to see the Falcons target a tight end in the draft this offseason. They could use an upgrade, but whether or not they will target a tight end as early as the second round is another question. Williams would be an ideal fit, however, and they should strongly consider drafting him.</p>. TE. Minnesota Gophers. Maxx Williams. 2. player
