Publishing mock drafts in July is like wearing snowsuits in July: Premature and probably reckless. Nonetheless, the earliest ones are sometimes an indicator of names we’re going to hear linked to our favorite teams repeatedly in the months ahead, so it’s worth jotting those names down while shaking our heads in disgust.
Unsurprisingly, the days of will-they-or-won’t-they with the quarterback position is not over simply because the Falcons passed on taking Justin Fields or Mac Jones at #4. Regardless of how Matt Ryan performs this year, we’re probably in for another draft season where the team is heavily linked to signal callers, and Bleacher Report kicked us off the other day with Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral going to Atlanta at #10.
