The NFL draft is quickly approaching. To add to the intrigue, none of the top teams are clearly linked to any top players. Few prospects seem guaranteed to be outside of Atlanta’s reach at the 8th overall pick, with every player from Travon Walker to Evan Neal realistically falling in one scenario or another.
Another wildcard is the quarterbacks. There is a chance passers go as early as 2. There is a chance Atlanta has its pick of any and all quarterbacks in this draft class. Football Morning in America’s Peter King, one of the most consistently plugged-in reporters in the NFL, has Pittsburgh quarterback Kenny Pickett as the first quarterback off the board, heading to the Carolina Panthers at 6th overall.
