Falcons Mock Draft Tracker:

MOCK DRAFTER: Ben Solak — ESPN

LAST MOCK PUBLISHED: April 8

Note: This was an all-quarterback mock draft, and Solak went through all seven rounds in this exercise.

PICK: QB Luke Altmyer — Illinois (at pick No. 215 in the sixth round)

ANALYSIS: "In a class like this, it's easy to talk oneself into a few Day 3 dart throws. Altmyer is one of those effortless sells. An ex-four-star recruit who initially committed to Ole Miss and Lane Kiffin, Altmyer isn't lacking for physical talent. He has a zippy release and highly reliable accuracy in the quick game and on RPOs. Throwing on the move doesn't impact his accuracy much, and he is an efficient scrambler (66.7% success rate last season).

"… The Falcons don't need to add a QB3, of course. But Altmyer is a stylistic fit, and any team with as open a competition as Atlanta's is a candidate to add a quarterback to the room."
