Atlanta Falcons 7-Round Mock Draft: The Perfect Mock Draft image

That's right, "Perfect". Try as you might, but there's no debating how bulletproof this mock is. Nothing but sound and fair analysis lies ahead. People will be jealous when they find out your team got this mock. After processing this one, my editor needed immediate medical attention, so pop a Bayer Asprin and prepare yourself for the Atlanta Falcons mock that will change your life.

Round 1, Pick 8 - Alabama EDGE Dallas Turner

Fear is the mind-killer, and those who are too naive to look past counting stats and arbitrary grades fear taking Dallas Turner. Turner has arms long enough to touch the bottom of Lake Lanier and the intellect of the Lisan al Gaib, all while playing with an edge that honors the Cobra Kia dojo. Save your data points for math class; the film tells you what you need to know; just open your eyes.

Round 2, Pick 43 - Missouri CB Ennis Rakestraw, Jr.

Rakestraw Jr. was given an 85.2 zone coverage grade by PFF, and in this domicile, we respect data. If that isn't enough for you, look at the name. That is an All-Pro name. Ennis Rakestraw Jr. had no other option but to ball out. You can't debate this name. Even trying to insinuate that this name will fail is impossible; your brain will not allow you to form those beliefs. So congrats, Falcons fans; you just landed your CB2.

Round 3, Pick 74 - Washington WR Jalen McMillan

The WR your local ball knower can't believe isn't being talked about more. Could he go higher? No. 74 is the highest he could go. McMillan has the speed and versatility the Falcons need, and after seeing Kirk's success with "J" first-name WRs, it would be foolish to pass on him. Josh Ali is the only other J man in the building, and Kirk won't like that.

Round 3, Pick 79 - Ohio State DL Michael Hall

What's better than getting Byron Murphy II in round 1? Getting someone better in round 3. Many will say there's no way Hall falls to round 3, but they would be mistaken because he did fall to round 3, and my PFF mock can't be wrong. Hall personifies the phrase "lean, mean, fighting machine," and some would say it's destiny that he reunites with his former teammate Zach Harrison.

Round 4, Pick 109 - Utah S Cole Bishop

Close your eyes. Now imagine Jessie Bates III playing alongside the hybrid of John Lynch and Harrison Smith. Now, picture what that player looks like. It's Cole Bishop. Bishop plays like his life insurance comes from above, consistently sacrificing his body like a young man from Nazareth. The Utes have already provided the Falcons with one junkyard dog, Clark Phillps III; adding his former teammate to this draft litter gives it some serious bite.

Round 5, Pick 143 - Rice WR Luke McCaffrey

They don't make lunch pails big enough to hide this WRs athleticism. Raheem Morris and Zach Robinson steal Sean McVay's flow with this selection. Everything about this pick screams, "I can't believe the league let this happen," but they will, and they'll be sorry. McCaffery fills the Jared Bernhardt-sized hole in fans' hearts and gives the team a competent, reliable WR.

Round 6, Pick 187 - Troy RB Kimani Vidal

BANG. BOOM. THUD. WHAM. No, that's not the sound of another 285 fender bender; that's just your average Kimani Vidal run. Pound for pound, he's the most physical RB in this class, and that includes when he doesn't get the ball. Vidal is the perfect spell back for a Bijan-Allgeier-led room, and at this point in the draft, he's an absolute steal.

Round 6, Pick 197- Baylor DT Gabe Hall

The reincarnation of Too Tall Jones ducks his head as he steps into the 404. Hall offers freakish size, and after hitting the Chai Pani lunch buffet all summer, his weight will be right where you want it. 

Take time to recover from what you’ve just experienced. Staring perfection in the face is often unsettling, but we both know it was worth it. The Falcons answered all their needs and then some in this mock draft. And if we’ve learned one over the years, you can take these babies to the bank.
