2018 NFL Draft: Falcons select Deadrin Senat in third round

The Falcons front-office members said they're looking for a third arm, and drafting a quarterback could be an option.

Each member of the Falcons editorial team will release a seven-round mock draft this week. Up first, Terrin Waack.

It's been all defense lately, but this roundup includes a possible trade up for a wide receiver. 

Many mock drafts have the Falcons taking a defensive player in the first round. But what if they don't? There are multiple wide receiver options. 

In this week's mock draft, Tori McElhaney picks up a top edge rusher (Dallas Turner) in the first round and a quarterback (Michael Penix Jr.) who falls to the second round ... or is exactly where some project him to be. 

Dallas Turner of Alabama and Jared Verse of Florida State emerge as top rushers for the Falcons to take in the first round. 

Dallas Turner has been projected in every edition, and it's no different in mock roundup 10.0. 

For years, the cornerback position opposite A.J. Terrell has been a revolving door. If quarterbacks go early, would the Falcons be enticed by the best cornerback in the class?  

Every analyst listed here projected the Falcons to pick rushers Jared Verse or Dallas Turner in this roundup. 

Is this realistic? Probably not. Am I going to do it anyway to make you think? Absolutely. 

The Falcons secured offensive weapons in free agency, now many analysts point to Atlanta taking a cornerback or rusher at No. 8 overall. 

Atlanta fills primary needs in free agency (at quarterback and wide receiver, mainly). There's still an obvious hole on this roster, though, and the Falcons use the No. 8 overall pick to fill it.
