Atlanta Falcons
Round Overall Player Notes
1 16 DT Javon Kinlaw, South Carolina
2 47 CB Damon Arnette, Ohio State
3 78 LB Akeem Davis-Gaither, Appalachian State
4 119 RB Joshua Kelley, UCLA
4 143 CB Harrison Hand, Temple from BAL
7 228 DE Chauncey Rivers, Mississippi State from TB/PHI
The Falcons don't have a shot to land C.J. Henderson to address their corner need in this mock, so instead they go with one of the best defensive tackles in this class in Kinlaw over an edge rusher after bringing in Dante Fowler in free agency. Kinlaw had a strong predraft process and would represent a value at No. 16, but the run on tackles and receivers could cause him to slip to the Falcons here.

Atlanta then addresses their corner need in Round 2 with Arnette, who probably isn't a shutdown corner on the next level but is capable of playing outside with his size. Davis-Gaither gives the team more talent on the second level of the defense to pair with Deion Jones.


With Todd Gurley's health issues and one-year deal with Atlanta, the Falcons would be wise to find a nice mid-round back to play a complementary role and perhaps more if needed. Kelley outplayed his tape during the predraft process and might be worth a look as a feature back down the road. Hand gives the team more needed cornerback depth, while Rivers is a lottery ticket edge rusher who has a bit of Vic Beasley to his game.

I've seen articles that are predicting the Falcons to trade up to around the #10 spot. If they trade up i would rather they draft a DE-DT than CB C.J. Henderson. I would rather the Falcons draft RB AJ Dillon from Boston College than Joshua Kelly from UCLA.

Those draft picks seem to fit most of the needs outside of OG/OC.

As much as we need corner help, I hope that if we trade up it's for someone on the Dline. IMO if Henderson is someone we want with our first pick he should be there at 16 for us.

I saw a Mock NFL Draft earlier in the week that had the Falcons drafting Utah State quarterback Jordan Love in the 2nd round:rolleyes: The Falcons need to start looking for Matt Ryan's successor since he'll be 35 this season but i don't think Jordan Love is the guy:cigar:
