No. 26 Atlanta Falcons (10-6)
The Pick: Maurice Hurst, DT, Michigan
Depending on what the Falcons do with Dontari Poe, Hurst could be in play at No. 26.
Hurst was one of the best interior defensive linemen in the country this year, grading out as Pro Football Focus’ top overall player. He’s more of the player Grady Jarrett is than he is the player Poe is, so it’s not a 1:1 position replacement, but I expect head coach Dan Quinn to see the best player and pick him. Hurst does his best work as a pass rushing three-tech defensive tackle.
