Atlanta Falcons drastically improve in this 7-round 2021 NFL mock draft

Atlanta Falcons 2021 NFL mock draft: Round 5, 182nd overall

Adrian Ealy is an extremely long offensive tackle prospect who does a great job of using his length to his advantage in pass protection. He moves well for an offensive lineman and also shows solid power at the point of attack.

Ealy is an extremely raw offensive tackle prospect and his tendency to play with a high pad level is concerning. That being said, his obvious athleticism paired with his long arms undoubtedly gives Ealy exciting upside as a pass protector. Ealy is far from a perfect player but he has the talent to grow into a legitimate starting option for the Falcons down the line.

Hayden Hurst is a solid starting tight end for Atlanta but the team lacks ideal depth at the position. In this sixth round of this 2021 NFL mock draft, the Falcons address their lack of tight end depth with the selection of Tre’ McKitty.

McKitty is a good athlete for a tight end and shows great toughness as a blocker. The Georgia product is an impressive run after catch weapon who shows good speed in the open field. He has plenty of upside as a receiver and blocker at the next level and could provide strong immediate depth at the tight end position.

With their final pick of this 2021 NFL mock draft, the Atlanta Falcons make another interesting addition at the wide receiver position. Cade Johnson is a quick and elusive wide receiver who shows the ability to create immediate separation out of the slot. He is also a tough player who is not afraid to go over the middle and catches the ball well in contested-catch situations. Simply put, Johnson is a gifted slot receiver who could quickly become a valuable weapon for Atlanta.
