Where potential Falcons land on Mel Kiper’s big board

The Falcons under Thomas Dimitroff could be be a bit predictable. There were typically some wildcards, like the annual question of whether the team would go bold and trade up. Otherwise, you could usually link that first-round pick to one or two positions. The Falcons drafted for need and they would trade up to get their guy.

The Falcons under Terry Fontenot will be different if they follow their stated plan. Fontenot is a big proponent for drafting the best player available. For instance, it means the Falcons could draft Penei Sewell, the draft’s top tackle, despite having heavy investment and decent depth already at tackle.
