2018 NFL Mock Draft: Quarterback Plunge Creates Chaos

Minkah Fitzpatrick . 17. player. 44. The Atlanta Falcons are busy trying to overcome the loss of Kyle Shanahan, something that was feared when he left for San Francisco. Unfortunately they also have problems to sort out in the secondary. They still haven’t found that star safety Dan Quinn covets. Keanu Neal is solid but he’s not proving to be a playmaker. Perhaps it would be best to take some of the pressure off him by adding a wingman. Minkah Fitzpatrick is one of those en vogue safeties who have cornerback-like abilities. He brings the size and tackling prowess of his position but displays the range and instinct to play solid coverage. That diversity will enable him to lend help all over the field.. S. Alabama
