Valhalla Mock Draft MMXXIII: Falcons on the Clock (#8)

[swede700]

In a tight battle, the Raiders end up going with the QB Will Levis (who may end up being traded to the Vikings, as Alec Lewis indicated today).  Next up, the Dirty Birds...

1.  Panthers - QB CJ Stroud (Ohio St) (11 votes, 2 for Young and Richardson)

2. Texans - QB Bryce Young (Alabama) (13 votes, 4 for Richardson)

3. Cardinals - Edge Will Anderson, Jr (Alabama) (9 votes, 4 for Carter, 1 for Gonzalez)

4. Colts - QB Anthony Richardson (Florida) (12 votes, 10 for Levis)

5. Seahawks - DT Jalen Carter (Georgia) (10 votes, 4 for Wilson, 3 for others)

6. Lions - Edge Tyree Wilson (Texas Tech) (7 votes, 4 for Gonzalez, 4 for others)

7. Raiders - QB Will Levis (Kentucky) (3 votes, 2 for Gonzalez, 1 each for 6 others)

Myles Murphy. This is the pick.

Again could argue Gonzalez for a QB1 and still back to back on my BPA list.

[SemperFeist]

I went with Murphy. They desperately need a pass rusher

[The Gnat]

I went Nolan Smith for the same reason, they need pass rush.

@scar988thoughts on how the falcons would go if this is how it played out?

[scar988]

Nolan Smith seems like he'd be the kind of guy they'd want over Murphy or others. They're running a multiple set and Nolan Smith has a lot of Khalil Mack in his game.

[PrplChilPill]

I know nothing of ATL needs, so I went BPA and Gonzalez.

So its Myles Murphy here?  I did not vote but Devon Witherspoon seems like the much better pickup and is a potential dude at the position.  Myles Murphy for all we know runs a 5.0 40, his athletic ability is a massive question because he has not done any testing at all.  Take him top 10 before any of that is shown would be flat foolish.
