2018 NFL Draft: Atlanta Falcons 7-round mock draft in September
By Derek Snyder
The Atlanta Falcons are stacked at almost every position on the field. That said, who should they pick in the 2018 NFL Draft?
The Atlanta Falcons are already off to a fantastic start to the 2017 NFL regular season, but there are still some places on their team where depth is needed. A team’s preseason record doesn’t actually mean anything, but I would argue that it does give everyone insight into their backups and reserves.
Still, even with that, it’s extremely hard to tell a team’s true depth during preseason play. These games are definitely not played at the same speed as a regular game and also, game-plans and schemes aren’t nearly as complex as teams will see during the season.
The good news for Falcons fans is that Dan Quinn and Thomas Dimitroff have done a terrific job in the NFL Draft since 2015 — Quinn’s first season in Atlanta. Key additions such as Deion Jones, Keanu Neal, Vic Beasley and Tevin Coleman have all been drafted by the Falcons.
Heck, those are only a few of the guys the Falcons have brought on board via the draft since 2015. Not to mention, every one of those guys mentioned above played a huge role in helping Atlanta get to their second-ever Super Bowl appearance in 2016. With that being said, here are six players the Falcons should consider in the 2018 NFL Draft.
