EXPERT: Matt Tabeek - Falcons digital managing editor
PICK: Andre Dillard, OT, Washington State
LAST MOCK PUBLISHED: April 17
TABEEK'S ANALYSIS: "The Falcons must protect Matt Ryan better, who was sacked 42 times in 2018. If they can give Matty Ice time in the pocket, he'll pick defenses apart and the Falcons offense will be very tough to stop. That's why taking the 6-foot-5, 315-pound Dillard is a no-brainer here. The four-year starter has excellent feet (fast and fluid) and is considered to be the best pass-blocking tackle in this draft class."To see all of Tabeek's latest mock draft, click here.

EXPERT: Todd McShay - ESPN senior writer
PICK: Christian Wilkins, DT, Clemson
LAST MOCK PUBLISHED: April 9
McSHAY'S ANALYSIS: "Wilkins is the best player on the board and makes sense for the Falcons with Grady Jarrett on the franchise tag in 2019. He has good range for a 315-pounder and displays a high motor as a pass-rusher."To see all of McShay's latest mock draft, click here.

JONES-DREW'S ANALYSIS: "With the (potential) loss of free agent Grady Jarrett, Dan Quinn adds the best interior lineman in the draft."To see all of Jones-Drew's latest mock draft, click here.

EXPERT: Lance Zierlein - NFL Media draft analyst
PICK: Rashan Gary, DE, Michigan
LAST MOCK PUBLISHED: March 21
ZIERLEIN'S ANALYSIS: "Gary's combination of height, weight and speed is top-five caliber, but he may be too raw to go that early. The Falcons have a need on the edge, and it would be very difficult to pass on a player with such a high ceiling at a priority position."To see all of Zierlein's latest mock draft, click here.

EXPERT: Bucky Brooks - NFL.com analyst
PICK: Jonah Williams, OT, Alabama
LAST MOCK PUBLISHED: March 19
BROOKS' ANALYSIS: "The Falcons could use an upgrade at right tackle to solidify an offense that's regressed a bit since ranking No. 1 in points per game in 2016. Williams is a technician with the feet and hand skills to play right or left tackle as a pro."To see all of Brooks' latest mock draft, click here.

EXPERT: Daniel Jeremiah - NFL Media analyst
PICK: Greedy Williams, CB, LSU
LAST MOCK PUBLISHED: April 16
JEREMIAH'S ANALYSIS: "The Falcons need an upgrade in their secondary. Williams offers an intriguing mix of size and playmaking ability."To see all of Jeremiah's latest mock draft, click here.

EXPERT: Peter Schrager - "Good Morning Football" Host
PICK: Jonah Williams, OT, Alabama
LAST MOCK PUBLISHED: March 26
SCHRAGER'S ANALYSIS: "The Falcons' roster was ravaged by injuries a season ago, and they still put up big offensive numbers. GM Thomas Dimitroff has gone to the Alabama well before and struck gold with receivers Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley. In Williams, the Falcons are getting a gamer who can play tackle (though he does not have the ideal build for it) or guard."To see all of Schrager's latest mock draft, click here.
PREVIOUS SCHRAGER PICKS:
EXPERT: Ryan Wilson - CBS Sports writer
PICK: Ed Oliver, DT, Houston
LAST MOCK PUBLISHED: April 17
WILSON'S ANALYSIS: "Oliver is a top-five talent but he's been out of sight, out of mind since early in the college football season. It's not his fault, but other players have flashed in the meantime and that allows the Falcons to land Oliver, who will be a 3-technique terror in the NFL."To see all of Wilson's latest mock draft, click here.

EXPERT: Chris Trapasso - CBS Sports writer
PICK: Jonah Williams, OL, Alabama
LAST MOCK PUBLISHED: April 11
TRAPASSO'S ANALYSIS: "Big hole at right tackle for the Falcons right now. Williams is a similar player to Jake Matthews."To see all of Trapasso's latest mock draft, click here.

EXPERT: R.J. White - CBS Sports writer
PICK: Ed Oliver, DT, Houston
LAST MOCK PUBLISHED: April 9
WHITE'S ANALYSIS: "Mock trade: Falcons get No. 8 for No. 14, 79, 117. Lions GM Bob Quinn proclaimed the Lions open for business when it comes to making draft pick trades, and that's music to the Falcons' ears, as they package third- and fourth-round picks to get up to No. 8 and land the absurdly talented Ed Oliver to join Grady Jarrett on the defensive line as versatile pass-rush forces. Oliver might not be the biggest guy to ever play defensive tackle, but he's one of the quickest off the ball and proved his athletic ability at his jaw-dropping pro day."To see all of White's latest mock draft, click here.

EXPERT: Pete Prisco - CBS Sports senior writer

EXPERT: Jared Dubin - CBS Sports writer
PICK: Christian Wilkins, DT, Clemson
LAST MOCK PUBLISHED: April 10
DUBIN'S ANALYSIS: "The Falcons not only move down the board and pick up draft value, they still fill a position of need with one of the better interior defensive linemen in the draft."To see all of Dubin's latest mock draft, click here.
PREVIOUS DUBIN PICKS:
EXPERT: Jon Ledyard - The Draft Network
PICK: Ed Oliver, DT, Houston
LAST MOCK PUBLISHED: Feb. 25
LEDYARD'S ANALYSIS: "Same pick that everyone makes for the Falcons? Sure, but tell me Oliver won't be the perfect fit for Atlanta? I believe they will be one of a handful of NFL teams with a Round 1 grade on Oliver, making his most likely landing spot anywhere from 14-26. His penetrating style will be perfect for Atlanta, but developing a pass rush plan should be a priority for Oliver's rookie season."To see all of Ledyard's latest mock draft, click here.
