The Atlanta Falcons last made a first round pick outside of the top ten all the way back in 2020, when they turned the 16th selection into the excellent A.J. Terrell. In the four years since then, they’ve picked fourth once (Kyle Pitts, 2021) and eighth three years in a row (Drake London, Bijan Robinson, and Michael Penix).
After the Falcons finished 8-9, they’re pretty well locked in to the 15th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. In what’s viewed as a fairly weak class outside of a handful of positions, Atlanta will look to land a player who can help push them to their first winning record since 2017 (sorry, dead horse, but this beating will continue), whether it be on defense or along their offensive line with Drew Dalman hitting free agency and some uncertainty around whether the Falcons will return both Jake Matthews and Kaleb McGary.
