After clawing their way to .500 with a victory over the hated New Orleans Saints, the Atlanta Falcons have lost their last two games by a combined score of 68-3. Now at 4-6, the team is at a crossroads: dig out of the hole and possibly stay frisky for the 7th seed, or collapse and wind up with a top-10 pick. Based on the last two games, I think most fans are assuming the Falcons will do the latter. Speaking of a top-10 pick, Atlanta is currently slated to pick 9th in the 2022 NFL Draft. That makes this a perfect opportunity for a mock draft: how might things shake out if Atlanta did wind up near the top of the draft class? For comparison’s sake, you can check out my previous 2022 mock draft:
