The NFL trade deadline is coming up fast, and big deals are already flying around the league. When it comes to the Atlanta Falcons, it's somewhat difficult identifying a major roster need going into the deadline.

That's a good problem to have, but every team can use more depth at certain spots and this one is no exception.

According to Josh Edwards at CBS Sports, Atlanta's biggest need right now is at wide receiver.

"Offensive line coach Bill Callahan has gotten that unit back to a level expected of them. As a result, quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and Atlanta's trio of elite skill players have operated effectively. The presence of another receiver would take pressure off Drake London and allow Jahan Dotson, Olamide Zaccheaus and Zachariah Branch to fulfill more natural roles."

This matches our assessment - and we have already identified potential trade targets in former Falcons star Calvin Ridley as well as Jauan Jennings of the Minnesota Vikings. Edwards has those two on his list of targets for Atlanta, as well as Josh Downs of the Indianapolis Colts, Jerry Jeudy of the Cleveland Browns, Brian Thomas Jr. of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Quentin Johnston of the LA Chargers.

If Matt Ryan and Ian Cunningham do target a wide receiver, they don't have to be too ambitious. Atlanta has an established No. 1 receiver in Drake London, and Jahan Dotson is doing far better than expected as a WR2 - especially as a deep threat.

What the Falcons' offense needs is a legitimate third option at this spot - one who would represent more of a threat than rookie Zachariah Branch or veteran Olamide Zaccheaus.

If they can find a solid WR3 for a fifth-round pick they shouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger on a trade.
