10 free agents the Atlanta Falcons must add to make the playoffs

4. Mack Hollins, WR, Las Vegas Raiders

When considering free-agent wide receiver targets, it may take a while before you consider Mack Hollins. Nevertheless, the Atlanta Falcons could consider someone of Hollins’ stature and skill set to assist Desmond Ridder or whoever is under center for the Falcons. First off, the journeyman wideout is 6’4″ and weighs 220 pounds, making him a special teams ace and an excellent run blocker.

He’s a boundary-only wideout who can line up opposite Kyle Pitts and Drake London, providing the quarterback with towering weapons. Hollins is the typical deep-threat big wideout who runs post, go routes, and jump balls. An Arthur Smith run-heavy play-action offense and Hollins are a perfect match.

3. David Onyemata, DT, New Orleans Saints

Finding more ways to get the quarterback is a must for the Falcons, plucking a player like David Onyemata from their rivals makes sense. The Falcons need to find ways to get to the quarterback and adding another defensive tackle who can generate pressure is a must. Last season, the defensive tackle for the Saints accumulated five sacks and achieved a career-best of 6.5 sacks in 2020. However, his pass pressure percentage has declined in recent years, with figures of 12.6 in 2020, 12.1 in 2021, and 9.6 in 2022.
