player. 44. . OT. Wisconsin. Ryan Ramczyk. 29

Ryan Ramczyk may be the best left tackle in this draft. His quickness of hands and overwhelming strength gives him an advantage over just about any defender he sees.

The top tackle has a giant question mark hanging over his head, though. As he deals with a hip injury, no one seems to know whether or not he;s going to be healthy this offseason. If he is, he could have a significant jump in the draft. If he isn’t, he’ll likely fall to the end of the first-round or head back to Wisconsin for another season.

With all the hype surrounding him, it’s unlikely he’ll play another year of college football. Even if he falls to the end of the first-round, he’s still going to get a chance to start immediately.

The Falcons have one of the best offenses in the NFL. The only thing they’re missing is an offensive line capable of keeping Matt Ryan upright throughout the entire game.

Atlanta;s biggest concern this offseason is fixing their line. They have everything they need to be a Super Bowl champion, but if they can’t keep their quarterback from getting beat up, the chances of them winning in the playoffs begins to flutter.

Ramczyk will be a major pickup for them this draft. They’re probably hoping he decides to enter the NFL draft whether he has the injury or not.
