Atlanta Falcons 2025 NFL Draft Preview

Unless they make a few trade downs at certain picks, expect most, if not all the Atlanta Falcons draft on the defensive side of the ball. With Michael Penix Jr. now leading the way despite Kirk Cousins still on the roster, there is the potential for a trade either this weekend or down the line, closer to the new season starting. After finishing 8-9, they will have to do a bit more to win the NFC South. Although Penix took strides to end the year off, will that be enough for a playoff berth in 2025?

Team Needs

The Atlanta Falcons could use anything on defense, but on offense, they could always use an offensive line depth, as well as a third wide receiver. Tight end is another position that is shaky, depending on whether they want to stick it out with Kyle Pitts for another season. After losing their starting center, the Falcons could target one on day two or three of the 2025 NFL Draft. Atlanta hasn’t had a decent edge rusher in what seems like a decade, and they will have plenty of options in round one.
