What is the story about?
The Atlanta Falcons are currently sitting in the middle of a rebuild, where the 2027 NFL Draft becomes more and more important the closer we get to it. With the talent available, there is a chance for the 2027 draft to be a foundational draft for the Falcons, but to do that, you have to pick the right guys. So far, to start the season, we have mentioned 72 different prospects that are eligible for the draft next April. Today, we’re going to do a quick check-in on whether their stocks have gone up,
gone down or if it’s around the same as when the college football season started in early August.
Stock Up
- CB Leonard Moore – Notre Dame
- DL Tyrique Tucker – Indiana
- EDGE Anto Saka – Texas A&M
- DT Will Echoles – Ole Miss
- CB Zabien Brown – Alabama
- RB LJ Martin – BYU
- RB DeSean Bishop – Tennessee
- CB Jalen Mayo – Houston
- Is there a chance that Aevion Terrell and A.J. Terrell are the future of the cornerback position for the Falcons? Absolutely. However, if they’re not, Jalen Mayo is a fine substitute for either of them in the future.
- RB Keyjuan Brown – Louisville
- QB Jayden Maiava – USC
- EDGE J’Mond Tapp – Memphis
- WR KJ Duff – Rutgers
- QB Katin Houser – Illinois
- QB Cameran Brown – Georgia State
- QB Darian Mensah – Miami
- There’s been a lot of talk about whether Darian Mensah is just feasting on an easy schedule with the dreaded dink and dunk tactics that make up his 8.1-yard ADOT (larger than guys like Trinidad Chambliss – 7.8 and Drew Mestemaker – 7.7), but Mensah has plenty of NFL-caliber throws on his tape.
- OT Elijah Paige – USC
- C Carson Hinzman – Ohio State
- OT Lance Heard – Kentucky
- RB Nate Frazier – Georgia
- DT DJ Hicks – Texas A&M
- DT AJ Holmes – Texas Tech
- WR Reed Harris – Arizona State
- LB Raylen Wilson – Georgia
- LB Chris Cole – Georgia
- LB Xavier Atkins – Auburn
- RB Cam Edwards – Michigan State
- QB Trinidad Chambliss – Ole Miss
- I get it. He’s 5’11”. I get it. He’s 24 years old. I get it. He’s in his seventh year of college football. But with the foundation of young talent that’s already in Atlanta, wouldn’t you want someone that’s already pro-ready and who continues to show up in the biggest moments for the Ole Miss faithful?
- QB Nico Iamaleava – UCLA
Stock Down
- QB Dante Moore – Oregon
- Dante Moore refuses to show up in the games that I need him to. Is he still probably going to be one of the first quarterbacks off the board next April? Absolutely. But there are many more questions surrounding Moore and his rocky start in Eugene.
- OT Jordan Seaton – LSU
- QB CJ Bailey – NC State
- CB Ja’Bril Rawls – FSU
- QB LaNorris Sellers – South Carolina
- They won’t make me quit you, but I have to be honest with myself. LaNorris Sellers looks bad as a pure passer of the football. He is not ready for the NFL and I’m willing to admit that.
- OT Bryant Williams – Arkansas
Neutral
- DL John Walker – Ohio State
- CB Ellis Robinson IV – Georgia
