Falcons bolster defensive line, add QB in Draft Wire’s new mock

Draft Wire projects the Falcons will add two players to their defensive front seven, a red-hot QB prospect and a do-it-all running back.

Sitting at 2-3, the Atlanta Falcons haven’t exactly lit the NFL on fire this season, but the team’s steady progress over the past three weeks has been encouraging. Despite the Falcons’ minor resurgence under first-year head coach Arthur Smith, they still are currently on track for another top-10 pick in 2022.

Draft Wire’s Luke Easterling released a new three-round mock in which Atlanta makes four picks — one of them being the second-rounder the team acquired from Tennessee in the Julio Jones trade. This time, Easterling projects the Falcons to land two players who could upgrade their front seven, a red-hot quarterback prospect and a do-it-all running back.
