Atlanta Falcons: Austin Hooper, TE, Stanford

The Falcons have lacked a viable option at tight end since Tony Gonzalez’s retirement after the 2013 season. They hope they found their long-term answer in the third round with Austin Hooper. Hooper is the latest Stanford tight end to make the jump to the NFL, following current Falcon Levine Toilolo along with Zach Ertz, Coby Fleener, Ryan Hewitt and Jim Dray. Hooper can be a solid security blanket for Matt Ryan, particularly in the short to intermediate areas of the field, and could challenge Toilolo and Jacob Tamme for a starting spot.
