Our SBNation bros at Mocking the Draft have this lovely post showing the best remaining players, but there's a lot of names on there, so we're gonna do this FALCOHOLIC STYLE.

Big thanks to Mocking the Draft for putting this up. I'm borrowing from their hard work.

Best Remaining Players Overall

14. Tank Carradine | 6'4, 276 pounds | Defensive end | Florida State

18. Arthur Brown | 6'0, 241 pounds | Middle linebacker | Kansas State

19. Keenan Allen | 6'2, 206 pounds | Wide receiver | California *

20. Geno Smith | 6'2, 218 pounds | Quarterback | West Virginia

23. Jonathan Cyprien | 6'0, 210 pounds | Safety | Florida International

26. D.J. Swearinger | 6'0, 212 pounds | Safety | South Carolina

29. Johnathan Hankins | 6'2, 320 pounds | Defensive tackle | Ohio State

31. Jesse Williams | 6'3, 323 pounds | Defensive tackle | Alabama

33. Larry Warford | 6'3, 332 pounds | Guard | Kentucky

34. Zach Ertz | 6'5, 250 pounds | Tight end | Stanford *

Best Remaining Potential Falcons

It's unlikely that any of those top 10 will fall into the Falcons' lap, so we're going to take a more reasonable approach. We're also going to assume the Falcons will not trade up in the second round.

In no particular order...

53. Travis Kelce | 6'6, 255 pounds | Tight end | Cincinnati

49. Sio Moore | 6'0, 245 pounds | Outside linebacker | Connecticut

50. Alex Okafor | 6'4, 264 pounds | Defensive end | Texas

58. Marcus Lattimore | 5'11, 221 pounds | Running back | South Carolina

63. Barrett Jones | 6'4, 305 pounds | Center | Alabama

68. Corey Lemonier | 6'3, 255 pounds | Defensive end | Auburn *

70. Margus Hunt | 6'8, 277 pounds | Defensive end | SMU

72. Shamarko Thomas | 5'10, 206 pounds | Safety | Syracuse

78. William Gholston | 6'6, 281 pounds | Defensive end | Michigan State *

87. Vance McDonald | 6'4, 260 pounds | Tight end | Rice

I skipped out on middle linebackers, running backs, and cornerbacks. Barrett Jones is an intriguing prospect to me, and it looks like if we're gonna get Lattimore, it's going to be in the second round. So keep that in mind as we go throughout the day.

How do you feel about the potential remaining Falcons?
