NFL Draft 2012: Falcons Grab Dwayne Allen, Nick Foles In NFL.com's 7-Round Mock

The Atlanta Falcons traded away some major assets from the 2012 NFL Draft last year in the big first round trade that netted wideout Julio Jones from the Cleveland Browns. While the team lacks a first round choice in this year's draft, the Falcons still come away with some solid talent, especially on the offensive side, in Chad Reuter's latest seven-round mock over at NFL.com.

Specifically, Reuter has the team grabbing Tony Gonzalez's replacement with Dwayne Allen as well as a nice quarterback prospect in the fifth in Nick Foles. You can can view the full list below.

Here's Reuter's complete projections for the Cowboys including round chosen and overall selection in parentheses:
2 (55) Dwayne Allen, TE, Clemson
3 (84) James-Michael Johnson, ILB, Nevada
5 (157) Nick Foles, QB, Arizona
6 (192) Nate Potter, OT, Boise State
7 (229) Micah Pellerin, CB, Hampton
7 (249) Devon Wylie, WR, Fresno State
