Falcons NFL mock draft simulations: 3 names keep coming up in Atlanta

If Atlanta Falcons fans somehow take control of the team’s draft room this weekend, Alabama nose tackle Tim Keenan, Florida center Jake Slaughter and North Dakota State wide receiver Bryce Lance can expect to be playing in Mercedes-Benz Stadium this season.That was one of the clear lessons from the mock drafts we received from the team’s fan base this week. Another was that there is no obvious direction for the Falcons to start this draft. At this point, it feels like Atlanta’s first selection, which is scheduled to come in the second round with the 48th pick, could be a player at any of four or five positions.Advertisement
