Falcons take QB with No. 10 pick in NBC Sports' mock draft
With the 10th overall pick in NBC Sports' post-trade deadline mock draft, the Falcons selected Missouri quarterback Austin Simmons.
Key points
- Nonetheless, the Falcons will likely face more quarterback questions going into this year's draft - unless Penix does enough to quiet the noise over the final nine weeks.
- It's also worth noting that we are in that stage of the season when quarterbacks start shooting up and down mock draft boards based on week-to-week hype.
- Hopefully, Penix will play well enough over these final eight weeks to solidify the job so that the Falcons can use their draft capital elsewhere.
The Atlanta Falcons navigated last year's draft without the safety net of a first-round pick, but barring some sort of pre-draft trade, they won't have that problem in 2027.
Additional details
- Even more notable is that this regime did not draft him, leaving quarterback very much on the table if they pick this high.
- In fact, the Falcons just added an extra second-round pick thanks to the Jessie Bates trade.
- The Falcons are currently slated for the 10th overall pick going into NFL Week 10.
- For now, we've got a new mock draft that has Atlanta taking a quarterback.
