Thus far under Atlanta Falcons Head Coach Dan Quinn’s leadership, the team has only drafted defensive players in the first round.
Although Notre Dame Guard Quenton Nelson would be a nice first-round pick in 2018, I am going to guess that the Falcons will draft yet another defensive player in the first round, and his name is…
Florida State Seminoles linebacker Matthew Thomas.
Reality says Thomas will likely be drafted within the first 25 picks of the 2018 draft. However, I for one thought Falcons defense end Takkarist McKinley would have been drafted much earlier than he was (and he most likely would have been were it not for a recent surgery).
