The Atlanta Falcons have the 14th pick in the draft, but they could be looking to trade this pick for the Detroit Lions 8th pick. With the 8th pick, the Falcons would then select Ed Oliver.
Along with the reports of the Falcons trading up to get Oliver, there are also reports that Oliver and the Falcons will meet before the NFL Draft, according to ESPN’s Vaughn McClure.
With these recent reports, assuming they have some truth behind them, it seems that it is becoming increasingly likely that the Atlanta Falcons will be selecting Oliver in the first round.
