Dale Zanine-USA TODAY SportsImagine how Jermaine Grace felt when the Falcons told him he made their 53 man roster in 2017. Elated? Check. Redeemed? Check. Victorious? Emphatic check. Because let’s be honest, but for some off the field issues at the University of Miami, Grace could’ve been selected on the second day of the draft. Instead his collegiate career came to an abrupt end and he was left to wonder whether his dream of playing in the NFL was still in the cards. Grace had a choice to make: try to get reinstated or try to go pro. He chose the latter, trusting that he had what it took to make that leap.I remember the 2017 preseason well. There was a sense that the Falcons had lucked upon a diamond in the rough in Grace. The Falcons simply couldn’t afford to try to let him clear waivers. Unfortunately, just like a lot of camp standouts that find themselves on NFL rosters, Grace found himself on the outside looking in as he sought to secure playing time and the Falcons released him after five games. After stops with the Colts, Browns, and Seahawks Stitched Terrell McClain Jersey , Grace earned a second chance with the Falcons in 2018, landing back on their practice squad in October and earning a futures contract in December. Grace’s predicament now is figuring out how to stand out in a crowded linebacker corps. Deion Jones, De’Vondre Campbell, and Foyesade Oluokun are penciled in as the starters. And Bruce Carter, Duke Riley, Kemal Ishmael, and UDFA Tre’ Crawford are all in the mix as backups. OTAs just kicked off Monday, and a lot can change between now and the end of August Marcus Green Atlanta Falcons Jersey , but Grace’s path forward, while not blocked, is littered with obstacles. Grace has put on approximately 15 pounds over the last two years. He came into the league looking like a strong safety and now he’s got a true linebacker build. And effort is certain to be a non-issue, given Grace’s uncanny knack for drawing attention from NFL teams over the last two seasons. One would think this is a true competition, and if I were Carter or Ishmael, I’d have my head on a swivel. Grace has youth on his side. (He’s three years younger than Ishmael and six years younger than Carter.) Plus we know head coach Dan Quinn has zeroed in on safety depth this off-season, so if Grace can show the coaching staff his versatility, that only increases his chances. In short 2019 Marcus Green Jersey , Grace is going to have every opportunity to make this team again in 2019. Given his youth, versatility, and talent, he may even find an easier path to playing time this time around. He needs to be a true standout on special teams and find a way to eclipse a couple other members of the linebacker corps. If he does that, a spot on the 53 man roster awaits. Your thoughts, Falcoholics? It’s one of the more fascinating mocks we’ve seen."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Library FalcFans Podcast on The FalcoholicContact The FalcoholicFalcons StoriesScheduleRosterStatsYahoo Falcons NewsYahoo Falcons Team PageYahoo Falcons ReportYahoo Falcons Depth ChartYahoo Falcons TransactionsYahoo Falcons PhotosOdds About Masthead Community Guidelines StubHub ✕Peter Schrager from ‘Good Morning Football’ has Falcons adding to OL in 2nd mock draft New,54commentsIt’s one of the more fascinating mocks we’ve seen. EDTShareTweetShareSharePeter Schrager from ‘Good Morning Football’ has Falcons adding to OL in 2nd mock draft Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY SportsIt’s mock draft season all over the NFL media pond, though these things grow to be a bit repetitive as time goes on. The Atlanta Falcons have been consistently linked to Houston DT Ed Oliver or Clemson DT Christian Wilkins when these things come out Marcus Green Atlanta Falcons Jersey , though Good Morning Football’s Peter Schrager has found a different avenue for the team to take. Schrager, who has his ear to the ground during this process and partly uses that in his mocks, has the Falcons taking Alabama offensive lineman Jonah Williams at 14. Williams would automatically start at right tackle for the team if this move is made, barring a disappointment. With the money invested in Jamon Brown and James Carpenter, guard looks to be locked up and right tackle the only spot on the offensive line with any leeway for a new competitor. He’d very much be flexible to play guard at some point down the road, and some feel that’s his natural NFL position. In Atlanta, he’d be a hoped-for bookend to pair with Jake Matthews and give the team stability once more at the tackle position. Our draft expert Kevin Knight got a look at Williams around the combine and offered these thoughts.Shrager’s mock is a fascinating read, with guys we’d expect going a little later going much earlier Youth Marcus Green Jersey , and vice versa. There are even a few names in there that’ll make you do a double-take as first-round selections. That’s the fun of an assembly such as this, and it’s worth getting his fuller picture of how things might shake out in April. For now, it’s very possible Williams is the pick in 2019, and it’d give you hope this offense is as complete as it has been in years on paper. The defensive would still need major reinforcements in the latter rounds, but the team has struck gold on mid-round picks on that side of the ball before. We’ve still got plenty of mock drafts to sort through before the big day, so continue to follow along to see what other ideas are out there for Pick 14.
