Best prospects available for the Falcons in day 2

WR Ted Hurst, Georgia State

Hurst is a legit deep threat and prototypical X-receiver. He’s not a one-trick pony either; he has a knack for YAC, runs crisp routes, and can win vs man or zone. The deceleration and suddenness in his route running are uncommon for a receiver of his size. He’d be an ideal addition to the Falcons revamped receiving room.

C, Connor Lew Auburn

Lew is the most technically sound center in the draft. He has allowed only three sacks and 13 pressures over the last two seasons. He’s 6’3 302, which should be just big enough for Bill Callahan. Lew would push for the job immediately, but if he loses out in camp, the Falcons still have their succession plan in place for when Ryan Nuezil’s deal is up the following season.

EDGE R Mason Thomas, Oklahoma

While the Falcons may have gotten more clarity around Pearce, adding to the room wouldn’t be unwise. Atlanta has multiple pass rushers on one-year deals, and Thomas may prove to be too good a talent to pass up. He’s a pure pass rusher with an insane get-off.

LB Josiah Trotter, Missouri

A violent downhill player. Trotter is one of the best run game processors and will shore up the defense at the second level. He’s an effective blitzer and fits Ulbrich’s attacking defense like a glove.

CB Devin Moore, Florida

Moore has the prototypical build teams look for in boundary corners. He’s fluid, effortlessly changes direction for a player his size, and excels in zone. The only worry with Moore is health, but he’s worth the risk after round 2.

IDL, Darrell Jackson Jr, Florida State

Jackson is another physical freak, checking in at 6’5 330 with 35″ arms, but more importantly, Jackson knows how to use this size and excels at playing the A-gap. Jackson could slide into the rotation immediately with an early down role.
