Let's stick to the facts up top before everything gets hypothetical down below. The 2024 NFL Draft is next week, running April 25-27 in Detroit. There will be seven rounds with 257 picks over the course of the three days. The Atlanta Falcons, as it stands, own eight selections, starting with No. 8 in the first round and ending with No. 197 in the sixth round. The following is the first of three seven-round mock drafts to be released this week. Each member of the Falcons editorial staff will share who they'd pick if given the power in Atlanta, starting with yours truly. Please enjoy – and try not to take this too seriously. A simulator chose all non-Falcons outcomes.
