3. His Production Speaks For Itself

Jonathan Taylor is quite obviously the most productive and proven running back in the draft class. Atlanta only has to look at his stats to see that.

Last season with the Badgers, Taylor carried the football 320 times for 2,003 yards and 21 touchdowns. In addition to his rushing numbers, Taylor showed that he can be a legitimate receiving back. He caught 26 passes for 252 yards and five scores.

Atlanta should not think twice if they can get Taylor in the second round. They currently hold the No. 47 overall pick in the draft. Taylor might be available, or they could consider trading up for him.
