Ahead of the NFL draft, Ayrton Ostly of USA TODAY released a seven-round mock draft on Thursday. He projects former Tennessee wide receiver Chris Brazzell II as the No. 48 overall pick in the second round to Atlanta.
āAtlanta has plenty of questions around the quarterback with Michael Penix Jr. recovering from injury and Tua Tagovailoa signed in free agency,ā Ostly said. āThe Falcons will have time to sort that out and get a wideout to start opposite Drake London on the outside. Brazzell is another tall wideout (6-foot-4, 198 pounds) who has great burst off the line and operates well underneath for his size.ā
Brazzell II played at Tennessee from 2024-25 after transferring from Tulane. He appeared in 25 games for the Vols and totaled 91 receptions for 1,350 yards and 11 touchdowns.
