FOX NFL analyst Charles Davis released his Mock Draft 2.0, and the former NFL star projects the Atlanta Falcons drafting a former Bulldog in the first round.

The NFL analyst lists former Georgia offensive tackle Isaiah Wynn as the Falcons first round pick.

Davis says that, “Matt Ryan needs consistency from his guards so that he can step up in the pocket and deliver,” and according to his projection, Wynn can make that happen in a transition from tackle to guard.

Davis’ top 5 draft picks include only one SEC player (Minkah Fitzpatrick, Alabama), three quarterbacks, and Saquon Barkley going first overall to the Browns.

Davis projects that Roquan Smith, the standout linebacker, will be the first former Bulldog taken –– by the Washington Redskins –– in the NFL Draft.

Davis' full mock draft can be found on NFL.com.
