player. 44. Can anybody name the best pass target for Matt Ryan after Julio Jones in 2015?  Here’s a hint.  It wasn’t a wide receiver.  Neither was the #3 pass target. Suffice it to say outside of the superstar All-Pro Jones, the Atlanta Falcons quarterback had no credible targets at that key position. <p>That is why there is no shame in them looking to find a wingman.  To think they somehow get Laquon Treadwell this late in the round is a stroke of good fortune.  The Ole Miss receiver mixes sleek athleticism with soft hands and good size to make for a reliable target, especially on key downs and in the red zone.  He’s not a burner, but the Falcons already have one of those.</p>. WR. Ole Miss. Laquon Treadwell. 17
