Mock Draft Bonus

    Guess what Falconers its mock draft time, what what. Mock Drafts are pointless and they are useless. None the less they are two tons of fun to do and to think about. I mean that's part of being a dies hard fan right. So today I am going to hopefully give you is a realistic take on the draft. I am going to give you two drafts, one with a trade down option  and one with a stay put out come.
        The Falcons currently own the 17th pick in the 2016 draft and only 4 other picks after that. Our current team needs as I see it, goes as follow ILB,OLB,SS, and guard, With out further ado here we go.

I am using Daniel Jeremiah's big board
Stay put at 17
Round 1(pick 17): Darron Lee- He is fast, agile, twitchy, ultra athletic line backer who will fill the fast of Dan Quinn's fast and physical defense. He come with speed good instincts but lack coverage polish that as fan we might want. I believe that DQ will be able to fix that quickly. Lee should come in and take over for Paul Warrlio and give us a coverage LB we have been needing.

Round 2 (pick 50): Keanu Neal- Dan Quinn had a hand in bringing this guy to the gators when he was there as the DC and I have to think if he is there he will be wear the red and black. Neal is a hard hitting head hunting strong safety. He could not only be our Kam Chancellor but he could also provide the hard hits that we will miss form released SS Willy Mo. Neal doesn't have many downsides other than looking for the big hit and sometimes getting burned for it.

Round 3 (pick 81) Carl Nassib-  Nassib is a large DE stand 6'7'' 277lbs. He is a power rusher that has the possibility to develop into a true Micheal Bennett type player. A true chess piece that can be paired with our other DE guys. Can you image a NASCAR package that featured Clayborn, Nassib, Shelby, and Beasley that would be cool to see.

Round 4 (pick 115) Jack Allen- Allen is an athletic center form MST that could kick over to guard and possible take over for Mack when he retires. I am not going to lie don't know much about offense line men but i think this guy could play guard and we need competition in that spot.


Trade down get picks 
trade with Jets , we swap 1st get there 3rd, 4th, 6th. They want to get above Buffalo and draft Paxton Lynch.

Round 1 (pick 20) Noah Spence- the best pure pass rusher in the game some off the filed issues early in his college career. Hopefully that is behind him and we get a running mate for Vic Beasley.

Round 2 (pick 50) Keanu Neal- see above.

Round 3 (pick 81) Deion Jones- Fast twitchy LB who could help with speed over the middle .
              ( pick 83) Joushua Perry- another fast cover line backer who will handle RB and TE coming across the middle.

Round 4 (pick 115) Jack Allen- see above.
              ( pick 118) Jerrel Adams- Pass catching tight end to learn from Jacob Tame and hopefully give Matt Ryan a safety value and seem buster.

There you have it fans my thoughts on the draft. You will notice that i stopped at the fourth round. That is because after the fourth it is truly a toss up. You might get some decent depth or a core special team players, but more than likely you just get a practice squad guy who will be replaced by another late round draft pick in years to come. Hope ya'll enjoyed this bonus post as much as I enjoyed doing it we will check back after the draft and see how bad I did,
