The NFL draft is less than two weeks away, and there's no better time than the present to take a closer look at which prospects make sense for each team.
We'll go through each division to pair prospects for each team on Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3 of the draft. (Even if a team does not have a pick on a given day -- example: the Patriots on Day 1 -- we'll still recommend a player, as trades can always change the draft order.)
Important note: This is not a mock draft. We aren't predicting where players will land. Rather, we're identifying a few prospects who fill a need and/or fit what each team likes to do schematically.
Here's a breakdown of the NFC South.
Atlanta Falcons
Day 1 (pick No. 31): Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan
Atlanta needs to continue to address the defensive side of the ball after finishing 25th in yards allowed, 27th in scoring and 26th on third down last year. Charlton has the potential to develop into an excellent complement to DE/OLB Vic Beasley Jr., who led the NFL with 15.5 sacks last year. He has the length, power and active hands to win one-on-one matchups rushing the passer, and the frame to hold up against the run. I like his odds of quickly emerging as an every-down defensive end.
