Atlanta trades up for Takk McKinley at 26

The Atlanta Falcons selected UCLA linebacker Takkarist McKinley with the 26th pick in the 2017 NFL draft.

What It Means:

Atlanta traded up with the Seattle Seahawks for the pick, giving up the 31st, 95th and 249th picks in exchange for number-26. McKinley was a JUCO transfer and punctuated his college career with a first-team All-Pac 12 nomination. He measured well at the combine, with a 4.64 40-yard dash and a 10'2" broad jump.

McKinley racked up 61 total tackles (50 solo) with 18 tackles for a loss, 10.0 sacks and 6 pass defenses as a senior in 2016.
