NFL Draft 2015: Which players are attending this year?
The 2015 NFL Draft is just days away, and we will soon find out who the Atlanta Falcons will take with the eighth overall pick.
That’s unless they trade away the pick, of course. Any if there’s anything we do know, it’s that anything can happen on draft day.
Atlanta needs to improve its pass rush, and this would be an area expected to be addressed early. But will the Falcons’ first draft pick be in attendance on Thursday?
Some of the edge rushers who have been associated with the Falcons at No. 8 include Vic Beasley, Dante Fowler and Alvin Dupree — all three will be in attendance.
So will Todd Gurley, although I refuse to believe the Falcons will take him at eighth overall.
Will we be seeing the Falcons’ first pick on stage with the red jersey? Or will it be a video of him away from Chicago with his family?
While it doesn’t matter, it’s still fun to see the first draft pick on stage holding the team’s jersey in the air.
