3. Will Levis, QB, Kentucky Wildcats

If C.J. Stroud wins the award as the most unlikely first-round pick for the Atlanta Falcons, then Will Levis wins the award as the scariest pick the team could make—maybe.

There is crazy talent in Levis, no doubt about it, but as we all know, talent only gets you so far in the NFL. There have been many talented players who turn into nothing. Levis screams Carson Wentz to me. While Wentz has had a great season in his career, he has turned into a quarterback who will be looking to join his fourth team in as many years.

All in all, he could be great just as easily as he could be a bust. The Falcons might be willing to take a huge risk and bet on his talent. He would be a great fit in Arthur Smith’s offense, so this seems conceivable.
