Falcons select Oklahoma defensive tackle David Stone in mock draft

The Atlanta Falcons aim to strengthen their defensive line by selecting Oklahoma defensive tackle David Stone with the sixth overall pick in a new 2027 NFL mock draft. Stone, a 6-foot-3, 310-pound powerhouse, emerged as a starter in 2025, posting 1.5 sacks and 42 tackles in 13 games. The Falcons' current defensive line is considered a weakness, as they lack depth aside from Brandon Dorlus. With Maason Smith and Dorlus likely not being long-term solutions, adding a player like Stone could address their significant need in the trenches. There are also indications that the Falcons may consider bolstering their wide receiver corps.
