3 Prospects the Atlanta Falcons hope to see fall in the draft
By Nick Halden
1. C.J. Stroud
It is hard to see Stroud falling in this draft considering his immense talent and what was an insane final game against the eventual champion Georgia Bulldogs. Lost in the blowout win from Georgia against TCU in the championship is the fact Ohio State had that Bulldogs team in position to be beaten with a clutch drive from Stroud setting up what should have been a win if not for shanked field goal.
The only way that Stroud falls in this draft is if the hype on Will Levis continues to grow. If that happens and Stroud falls in Atlanta’s lap there will be zero hesitation from the Falcons. Stroud has an argument as the top quarterback in this draft and should be drafted far before anyone considers taking Will Levis.
The Raiders, Lions, Texans, Seahawks, Colts, and Falcons all have an argument as teams that could go either way on a quarterback depending on how the off-season goes and the draft order falls. The Bears and Cardinals are the only team with clear answers at the quarterback position inside the first eight picks. Stroud seems unlikely to make it past seven teams, but stranger things have happened.
