Just 22 days out from the 2016 NFL Draft, ESPN draft expert Mel Kiper has the Falcons selecting Alabama ILB Reggie Ragland with their No. 17 pick in his recent mock draft.
While most media members believe Atlanta will draft a linebacker, it’s the outside linebacker spot that’s garnered the most attention. Darron Lee, Leonard Floyd, Deion Jones are a few of the players who have most recently been linked to the Falcons.
Kiper believes Ragland is the best option for Coach Dan Quinn and GM Thomas Dimitroff because he’s someone they can plug into their system and succeed from Day 1.
