In February, I wrote that the Falcons were likely getting a sixth round compensatory pick for losing Alex Mack in the 2021 offseason. A month later, that has proven to be the case.
The NFL released its official list of compensatory picks this evening, and the Falcons picked up selection #213. That’s one pick off the projection we were working with, and it gives Atlanta a little bit more draft ammo for April.
Here’s the full list of Falcons picks as it stands today.
- Round 1, Pick 8
- Round 2, Pick 43
- Round 2, Pick 58
- Round 3, Pick 74
- Round 4, Pick 113
- Round 5, Pick 151
- Round 6, Pick 189
- Round 6, Pick 213
Obviously the Falcons executing a trade for Deshaun Watson would blow this list up, but otherwise I think it’s fair to expect Atlanta to make most of these selections.
