What a Potential 2018 Atlanta Falcons Draft Could Look Like

1st Round Picks:

The 1st simulation presented the ideal situation as Alabama DT Da’ron Payne, who is widely believed to be a top target of The Atlanta Falcons, was there at #26.

Payne is listed as 6’2 311 lbs and is very strong at the point of attack. He lived in the backfield of UGA, during this year’s NCAA National Title game.  Pairing Payne with Jarrett would be a great scenario one that would have immediate results.
