Every year, I throw my hat in the ring for a mock draft right before the draft itself. I do this not under the illusion that my mock will be right so much as as I do for tradition and to give you a sense of how I expect the draft to unfold. In about 72 hours, we’ll know how close I was, if close is even a remotely applicable adjective.
Here’s my best guess at the draft class, based on what we know about this team’s needs, players I like at positions the team has identified as needs and think are quality fits for the Falcons, and what I think the Falcons will do.
