The NFL draft is just over a month away and that mean’s we are one step closer to figuring out who the Atlanta Falcons could be targeting with their first-round pick.

Atlanta holds the 17th pick in the draft and could go several different ways in the first round. They could take a pass rusher, an outside linebacker or an inside linebacker. Or they could surprise many and take a tackle.

The Falcons could also trade back in the draft and stockpile more draft picks. There are still a lot of solid talent deep in the first round and that may be the best option. There have been a lot of different players mocked to the Falcons over the past few weeks. The list ranges from Reggie Ragland to Shaq Lawson to even Sheldon Rankins.

While some are more realistic than others, here is an updated list of three potential first-round targets for the Atlanta Falcons without taking into account their drafting position.
