Let’s take a full dive into 2017 NFL mock draft scenarios for the Atlanta Falcons, using Fanspeak’s “On the Clock” draft simulator.

With projected compensatory picks added in for all teams, here’s a look at how our full seven-round mock draft ended up for the defending NFC champs.

1. Malik McDowell, DL, Michigan State

Vic Beasley broke out in 2016, but he needs help. The Falcons could go with another edge rusher here, but the way the board fell in this scenario, I see McDowell as the better value and fit. His inconsistency and lack of refinement could have teams shying away from his early in the first round, but he’s the kind of versatile, explosive defender Dan Quinn would love to add in the middle.

2. Joe Mathis, EDGE, Washington

You can never have too many talented pass-rushers, and this year’s draft is full of them. Mathis is coming off a season-ending foot injury, but the 6-2, 255-pounder had already bagged five sacks in the first six games of 2016. He’s powerful, explosive, and would be a perfect fit across from Beasley.

3. Dion Dawkins, OL, Temple

The bigger need for the Falcons up front is at guard, but versatility is never a bad thing, especially along the offensive line. Dawkins was a solid right tackle for Dawkins, but he could slide inside and be a dominant guard at the next level.

4. Tedric Thompson, S, Colorado

Keanu Neal already looks like a stud at strong safety, but the Falcons could still use a center-fielder type to eventually replace Ricardo Allen. Thompson leaves much to be desired as a tackler, but his range and ball skills are among the best in this year’s deep class (seven interceptions, 16 pass breakups in 2016).

5. Cole Hikutini, TE, Louisville

Another extremely deep position in this class, the Falcons could find another solid value to pair with Austin Hooper, whom they drafted last year. The 6-5, 248-pound Hikutini was a favorite of Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson last season, catching 60 passes for 668 yards and eight touchdowns.

7. Sojourn Shelton, CB, Wisconsin

Day 3 is about value, depth and the potential to contribute immediately on special teams. This year’s corner class is extremely deep, and Shelton is one of the more intriguing names in the late-round conversation. Shelton is an undersized but talented nickel prospect who snagged four picks and broke up 12 passes in 2016.
