Conclusion

Ultimately, the Falcons would love to have both players long-term in their plans to build a deep and young roster for years to come. In an ideal world, it would be great to have a complimentary running back with size and speed and an athletic defensive tackle with a quick first step.

However, it is possible that the Falcons will have to choose which one do they value the most.

How each player produces in the upcoming 2018 season will have a lot of say. Or is it possible that the Falcons have already made their decision as to which young talent will likely be in Atlanta for years to come?
