Falcons draft Georgia safety, North Carolina QB in new ESPN mock

ESPN’s Todd McShay released a new mock draft which has the Falcons adding a wide receiver in the first, and trading for a QB in the second.

When there isn’t a clear-cut franchise quarterback at the top of the draft class — or three as there were in 2021 — it becomes that much tougher to predict what’s going to happen on day one.

The Falcons hold the No. 8 overall pick in this year’s draft, but those first seven selections are mostly up in the air at this point. With so many different positions that need to be addressed, Atlanta is in good position to take the best player available.

ESPN’s Todd McShay dropped a new two-round mock which has Atlanta adding three players, including a quarterback in the second round.
