Atlanta has just five picks in this year’s draft. They traded their third-round pick to New England in exchange for LB Matt Judon last year, while they were stripped of their fifth-round pick for violating the league’s anti-tampering policy for making improper contact with Kirk Cousins, Darnell Mooney, and Charlie Woerner.

The Falcons won't necessarily take a defensive player with their first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, GM Terry Fontenot said.
