MOCK DRAFT: Pick 20 - Roddy White


Roddy White has been a guy who always seems to fly under the radar. White does a very good job of finding open space in the defense and has very good hands. With Matt Ryan another year older, the two should be able to gel this season and White's stats should reflect this. The Falcons have one of the better speed/power running backs in the game in Michael Turner, which will force opposing teams to honor the run and stack the box. Roddy White should also be able to play off of Tony Gonzalez, who despite his age, is still and elite TE.

Roddy White should post good numbers week in and week out, and much of the Falcons success on offense will hinge on him playing well. If Matt Ryan comes out and puts up a good year, White will be one of the better wide outs in the NFL this season.

-Projections: 85 receptions, 1,300 yards receiving, 8 TDs
