We’re less than a month away from the 2023 NFL Draft. With the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine behind us, there are only a handful of Pro Days and team visits remaining before we reach the main event. The Atlanta Falcons have been busy over the past several weeks, adding a number of starters and depth pieces in free agency. It sure is nice to have salary cap space! With all those additions and free agency starting to slow down, it’s time to start taking a closer look at how the Falcons will attack this year’s draft. I’ve covered a number of possible scenarios already, which you can find below. Today’s Falcons mock draft takes a look a look at a scenario featuring one of the most controversial picks for Atlanta at 8th overall: running back Bijan Robinson. Opinions are, naturally, quite divided on whether or not Robinson makes sense for the Falcons. But seeing as this team has shown little to no care for positional value, and Bijan is likely to be the “best player available” based on pure talent at 8, I felt I needed to conduct at least one mock featuring the electric prospect.
