Atlanta Falcons play it safe in this full 7 round mock draft

With the NFL Draft only two weeks away, mock drafts are consistently trying to find out “fits” for all teams, including the Atlanta Falcons. Whether it involves selecting a defensive player to fix arguably the biggest weakness or selecting a signal-caller in a questionable class, the Falcons seem to always be that team nobody can figure out.

Surprising, to say the least.

With mock drafts galore, it only makes sense to attempt at “mending” prior mocks or even double down on certain selections based on how the expert’s “big boards” continue to fluctuate.

Last time, as per Terry Fontenot’s own wording, the Falcons said they were mainly going to prioritize selecting the “best player available” so as to avoid reaching for specific positions as that poses more of a risk to an organization’s overall goal. This mock was conducted using the RiseNFLDraft simulator, and there were trades made, just not with any Falcons picks.

This time around, this mock was conducted using the mock simulator over at The Draft Network.

How will the draft shake up compared to the first time around for the Atlanta Falcons?

Let’s find out.
