The Atlanta Falcons' young core has their offense among the most promising in the league.

The Atlanta Falcons have invested a lot of young talent into their offense over the past three seasons.

For the past three drafts, the Falcons have used a top-10 pick on a skill player, loading them with a unique group of players who could eventually form one of the league's top offenses.

Bleacher Report ranked every offense's foundation and placed the Falcons at No. 5 across the whole league.

"Quarterback Desmond Ridder (24) is hardly guaranteed a long-term shot, so it's hard to consider him much of a building block," Bleacher Report writes. "Still, despite somewhat of a lack of delivery, the talent is absolutely there with Bijan Robinson (22), Kyle Pitts (23) and Drake London (22) at the skill positions. Throw in the potential with guard Matthew Bergeron (23), and this is a strong young foundation."

Only the Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles, Miami Dolphins and Detroit Lions placed higher on the list, but none of those are knocks against the Falcons.

Atlanta has built itself through the draft on offense and their success as a team is very much tied to the success of Pitts, London and Robinson. But they need that quarterback that can stir the drink for all three to fulfill the potential they each held as a top-10 pick.

If the Falcons can find that signal caller this offseason, it would be a massive boost for all of their careers in the final year where all three are still on rookie contracts.
