LB Myles Jack, UCLA
Everyone thought Jack would be the guy when Atlanta was up and he was still on the board, but the fact that he remains available is a little scary. Teams are much more informed on his knee injury than we are, and the Falcons are likely searching for immediate impact in that level of the defense.
DE Kevin Dodd, Clemson
If the Falcons are still shopping for edge talent, Dodd could definitely be that guy in the second round if still available. He's not the most athletic guy on the field and he's a one-year wonder, but his production is there and he can bend the edge extremely well.
LB Reggie Ragland, Alabama
Ragland is a polarizing figure among Falcons fans, but many among our staff saw him as someone the team could've taken on Day 1. The 2nd round brings much better value for Reggie, and the knocks against his athleticism might be a little overblown.
OL Cody Whitehair, Kansas State
My draft crush is still available, and I pray that Dimitroff makes me giggle like a schoolgirl with this pick to kick off Day 2. Whitehair would give Atlanta a well-rounded line, and give the Levitre/Chester/Person trio some much-needed competition at Guard.
OLB Su'a Cravens, USC
Another guy you saw often in Falcons mocks is Su'a Cravens, and for good reason. Cravens is a rangy LB/S hybrid, but would likely be pegged as a linebacker after snagging Neal in round one. For a team that's desperate for fresh talent at the position, Cravens might not be a bad choice.
EDGE Noah Spence, Eastern Kentucky
If it weren't for the off-field issues in 2014, Spence is probably gone before Atlanta picked in Round 1. Since then, Spence has cleaned up his act, but the questions still linger. He's got the talent of a top-tier pass rusher, but Atlanta would have to be willing to take a character-related risk.
TE Hunter Henry, Arkansas
Que the "since Gonzalez left" talk. "The Best Tight End in the Nation" is still available going into the second round and Atlanta could look to upgrade upon the 31-year-old Jacob Tamme. It isn't a pressing need, but drafting him would bring more Falcons fans into the locker room.
