The latest ESPN mock draft suggests the Atlanta Falcons will select defender Mykel Williams from Georgia with the 15th pick. This marks a shift, as Falcons GM Terry Fontenot has not previously drafted a defender in the first round. Williams, a Georgia native, led the Bulldogs in sacks as a freshman. He had a standout performance in the SEC Championship game, recording two sacks against Texas, despite injuries limiting his play last season. In the second round, the Falcons are projected to pick cornerback Benjamin Morrison from Notre Dame. Morrison, who had a strong performance before an injury, could help strengthen the Falcons' secondary alongside A.J. Terrell.
