We’re full speed ahead into our coverage of the 2023 NFL Draft, with the Shrine Bowl wrapping up and my live coverage of the upcoming Senior Bowl kicking off on Tuesday. The Atlanta Falcons secured the 8th overall pick and have eight total picks per current projections. Thus far, I’ve stuck to four-round mock drafts while I continued to learn more about the late-Day 3 prospects. No longer: I’m ready to give you the full 7-round experience for all of you who care deeply about who the Falcons might select with the 249th overall pick. The Senior Bowl will undoubtedly shake up the draft rankings, and we know how important the event is for the Falcons. Over the first two drafts of the Arthur Smith/Terry Fontenot regime, Atlanta has selected ten players who participated in the event. That’s a really big number, and emphasizes the value that these All-Star events have for NFL teams. But, just for fun, here’s a pre-Senior Bowl mock draft for the Falcons featuring a number of my favorite prospects at the event. I’ll conduct another one at the end of the event to compare how things have changed.
