Mock draft roundup: Falcons take CB, S, EDGE in 1st round

Three new NFL mock drafts have the Falcons selecting defensive players in the first round.

The Atlanta Falcons lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13 and now, sitting at 5-7, the team is on track to land the No. 8 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft.

There’s no shortage of positions on this Falcons roster that are in need of an overhaul, including wide receiver, linebacker, safety and multiple spots along the offensive line.

Let’s see which direction Atlanta goes in three different mock drafts from Draft Wire, Pro Football Focus and CBS Sports.
