With the eighth overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft, the Falcons selected Drake London — a big-bodied receiver out of USC.
We have selected WR Drake London with the 8th pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.

With Jermaine Johnson II and Kyle Hamilton still on the board, Atlanta goes with a pass catcher to bolster the worst receiving core in football. I’m of the opinion Jameson Williams is the top wideout prospect in this class, but London is still the prototypical X receiver that Atlanta has desperately needed since the team traded away Julio Jones. London was the fourth-ranked receiver on Jake’s big board:
The former basketball player has exceptional hops and athleticism, and that’s a dangerous combination when you stand 6’5”. London uses his frame and physicality to make a ton of contested catches, and there’s no doubt in my mind he has the potential to be an All-Pro if he can put it all together.
