PFF has compiled a list of ideal first-round prospects for each NFL team, and it’s no surprise that they’ve identified pass rusher Mykel Williams as the best fit for the Atlanta Falcons. Williams has officially declared for the draft and is widely regarded as an excellent match for Atlanta’s needs. The primary question, however, is whether he’ll still be available when the Falcons are on the clock on draft night.
While Williams isn’t a flawless prospect, with areas like hand technique and maintaining containment needing improvement, these are aspects that can be developed with proper coaching at the next level. One of his standout qualities is that he’s not just an elite pass-rushing talent but also a reliable run defender. The concerns surrounding his game are largely fixable, provided he lands in the right situation with strong coaching support.
The Georgia Bulldog standout has consistently been highlighted as an ideal offseason target for the Atlanta Falcons. The main question, however, is whether Mykel Williams will still be available when the Falcons are on the clock or if the team might consider trading down. If Atlanta has the opportunity to draft the edge rusher, they should stay committed to their current draft position.
- On the other hand, if Williams and the top pass-rushing prospects are no longer available, the Falcons should explore the option of trading down. The team is already without two draft picks due to a tampering penalty and the Matthew Judon trade. With limited cap space to work with, it would be a strategic move for Atlanta to prioritize acquiring additional draft capital.
