Breece Corridor

Atlanta has holes everywhere in the roster and this is the reason some assume they will wait so as to add a quarterback, particularly since signing Mariota to a two-year deal. Right here, they choose Malik Willis with the eighth-overall choose.

The Falcons have been linked to Garrett Wilson of Ohio State given their want at broad receiver and the truth that he’s the No. 1 prospect on the place. As an alternative, they go for Willis and don’t goal a large receiver till the 82nd choose on day two.

This mock draft has the Falcons ready to draft Boise State receiver Khalil Shakir within the third spherical. That is after Breece Corridor of Iowa State within the second spherical to bolster the talent positions.
