Georgia offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn might find his new NFL home rather close to his collegiate home.

In NFL.com draft analyst Lance Zierlein's first mock draft, Wynn is projected to go to the Falcons with the 26th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.

“Wynn is a perfect fit for the Falcons' scheme, and they happen to need guard help. Wynn is also a capable swing tackle, if he's needed in that role,” Zierlein wrote.

Last week at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., Wynn was awarded the week's best offensive line performance. Wynn moved from offensive guard to left tackle in 2017, and was named a second-team All-American by multiple publications.
