If the Atlanta Falcons trade down, who will they be able to draft?

We are less than two weeks away from the 2016 NFL draft. Can I get a hallelujah? Mock drafts are flying left and right but a lot of what is out there will never happen. At the end of the day, mock drafts are just eye candy. Educated guesses hold as much ground as uneducated guesses if you really think about it so don’t believe everything that you read.

One man who you can half way trust when it comes to mock drafts is Mel Kiper. He’s known for producing quality mocks and for that I’ll use his latest to decide what the Atlanta Falcons will do. In a perfect world, Atlanta will trade down. But if they trade down, they will need a trading partner and a few options of who they want to draft.

Here are three players that Kiper mocked to go in the late parts of the first round or the very beginning of the second round and all three could potentially wind up wearing a Falcons hat by nights end.
