Some NFL mock drafts have the Falcons taking Florida defensive tackle Taven Bryan as their first round pick. All of this will be revealed in the first round. The Falcons were given the final pick of the draft because they lost five players in free agency in 2017.
The first round of the draft begins at 8 p.m. Rounds two and three will take place on Friday starting at 7 p.m. and rounds four through seven will be on Saturday starting at noon.
