2013 NFL Draft: The Prospects The Falcons Have Visited With Thus Far

Full credit to Walter Football for this list, which should not be assumed to be complete. I've heard a couple of players connected to the Falcons who don't show up here, but I can't conclusively prove they've visited, so we'll hang tight for now. Be sure to go visit Walter Football and give them the traffic, because they did some really nice work here.

I wanted to take a quick second to point out something obvious: There's a lot of corners on this list, and a lot of defensive linemen. Considering those are the two biggest needs on the roster, this is good news.

A few players of interest:

• Blidi Wreh-Wilson. A riser, Wreh-Wilson is widely predicted to go at the end of the first or early in the second. He's a nice cover corner who would fit well in Atlanta, and if they stay put, I can easily see him being the Falcons' pick. Jamar Taylor is also obviously intriguing at 30.
• Corey Lemonier. Not everyone loves this guy, and I understand why, given his modest production a year ago. The tools are all there, though, and the Falcons need pass rushers badly.
• Sean Porter. If the Falcons keep their third round pick, I could see it being used on Porter. He's an athletic linebacker who would be an immediate upgrade on, oh, just about everyone in coverage.
• Stepfan Taylor, Le'Veon Bell and Mike Gillislee. All three are considered mid-round running back prospects, and indicate that the Falcons are still thinking about the future at the position. I'm an avowed Gillislee fan.
• David Carter. He could be had for a very late round pick, and he's kind of an intriguing player as a Jason Snelling-type fullback/halfback hybrid with decent hands and some power in his legs. Keep an eye on him.
• Seth Doege. The Falcons could throw a curveball, but I've expected them to draft a QB for a while. Doege could be a nice third QB to develop.

Who intrigues you out of the list above?
