Falcons draft wide receiver, two LBs in Mel Kiper’s new mock

ESPN’s Mel Kiper has the Falcons drafting a wide receiver and two linebackers in his new mock.

If you aren’t a fan of mock drafts, it’s probably best to stay away from most NFL sites for the next couple of weeks. The 2022 NFL draft kicks off on April 28, which is over two weeks away, and the mocks are starting to fly in.

ESPN’s Jordan Reid released a full seven-round mock on Monday, and on Wednesday, Mel Kiper dropped a new two-round mock. The two ESPN colleagues have the Atlanta Falcons going in two different directions.

Reid projected Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton to Atlanta in round one, while Kiper has the team drafting a wide receiver. Here’s a look at the three Falcons selections from Kiper’s mock.
