The Falcons emphasized fit with the 2026 draft class
At times during the most chaotic years under Thomas Dimitroff and Terry Fontenot, you could be forgiven for thinking the front office was throwing darts. There were plenty of talented players selected, of course, and in years like 2016 and 2022 you could see players being acquired specifically for coaching staffs excited to utilize them. […]

Falcons roster implications for the team’s day 3 picks
The Falcons added depth with their final selections of the 2026 NFL Draft, as expected. As anticipated, they weren’t just looking for guys to quietly fill roles. Instead, everyone the Falcons took has a whisper of promise. We have no idea whether that will be realized, but we do know the Falcons were looking for […]
Falcons 2026 undrafted free agents tracker
The 2026 NFL Draft has officially wrapped up. Many of those hoping to hear their name called over the last few days are likely disappointed, but the dream is not over for them. NFL teams, including the Atlanta Falcons, will now begin to sign prospects who were overlooked in the draft process, with the hope of […]
Atlanta Falcons trade pick 122 for picks 134 and 208 from the Raiders
The Falcons pledged to add draft picks and avoid selling off future year selections, and they’ve followed that to this point. Now a trade has added another 2026 selection. The Falcons moved back from pick 122 in the fourth round to 134, adding 208 in the process from the Raiders, who picked Arkansas running back […]
Falcons 2026 draft day 3 pick tracker: Atlanta closes out draft with OL Ethan Onianwa
The Falcons are working on finalizing their draft class as the draft hurtles toward its end. Here’s a list of their picks. Pick #231: OL Ethan Onianwa, Ohio State For the second straight draft, the Falcons close things out with an offensive lineman. Despite his size—he’s 6’7” and 331 pounds—most analysts think he’s ticketed for […]
Falcons 2026 draft day 3 pick tracker: Atlanta lands Oklahoma LB Kendal Daniels in the 4th round
The Falcons come into the final day of the draft with three selections. The hope is that they leave with either additional draft selections over the next couple of seasons or three talented reserves with some upside, though greedily I will take both. We’re rounding up all of today’s selections for the Falcons right here, […]

2025 trade with Rams to snag James Pearce Jr. finalized during 2026 NFL Draft
The Atlanta Falcons made a big move in the 2025 NFL Draft, trading up for a pass rusher to bookend their earlier selection at the position. The Rams packaged two 2025 picks in exchange for three picks from the Falcons, with one of those picks being in 2026. Now that the pieces of that trade […]

Xavier Watts trade results: Falcons’ 2025 draft move up finalized with 2026 pick
The Atlanta Falcons were one of the busier teams in the 2025 NFL Draft with trades, notably moving up 20 spots back into the first round for edge rusher James Pearce Jr. In that deal, they got back pick 101 in 2025. That wasn’t their only major trade-up in the draft, though, as Atlanta also […]
Falcons 2026 day 3 draft discussion: Today should bring Atlanta developmental depth
The Atlanta Falcons have talked about building the trenches and did quite a bit of that work in free agency, but their first draft picks did not address those needs. Instead, they went for players who could be viewed as the best players available at a pair of needs further away from the line of […]
2026 NFL Draft: Best available prospects on Day 3
Ian Cunningham’s first night is over, and early reactions have been positive. Cunningham was able to get excellent value from both his picks. Avieon Terrell was considered a 1st round prospect, and many had Zachariah Branch going as early as the 2nd round. Let’s hope this trend continues into Day 3. Here are some of […]
Falcons nail Day 2 with selections of CB Avieon Terrell and WR Zachariah branch
The Falcons were armed with only five picks in the 2026 NFL Draft and a lot of needs to take care of. Luckily, Atlanta absolutely nailed Day 2 of the draft with two slam-dunk selections in CB Avieon Terrell and WR Zachariah Branch with picks 48 and 79. Kevin Knight breaks down the selection of […]
The Falcons roster impact of the Zachariah Branch pick
Zachariah Branch can haul ass. His 40 time tells the tale, but I’m more interested in what he did in terms of yards after the catch. At Georgia, he was a screen pass monster who routinely turned modest targets into big gains. Forget the size for a moment and focus on what you can do […]
Atlanta Falcons draft Zachariah Branch in 3rd round of 2026 NFL Draft
Following their selection of Avieon Terrell earlier in the night to bolster the secondary, the Falcons opted to enhance their offense in the Third Round of the 2026 NFL Draft by selecting wide receiver Zachariah Branch out of the University of Georgia. Branch fell in comparison to where the consensus boards had him ranked, and […]
The Falcons roster implications for the Avieon Terrell pick
By selecting Avieon Terrell, the Atlanta Falcons declared that their cornerback corps needed an upgrade despite their stated intent to build the trenches. In hindsight, the fact that the Falcons made no real attempt to add to a cornerback corps that had some concerns even as they plunged resources into the trenches and the offensive […]
Falcons draft results 2026: Aveion Terrell, CB, Clemson stats, awards, scouting report
It’s officially a family affair in Atlanta, with the Falcons selecting cornerback Aveion Terrell out of Clemson, the brother of Falcons cornerback AJ Terrell, with the 48th overall pick in the second round of the draft. Here’s everything you need to know. Stats & Accolades What the Falcons are getting: Terrell is the younger brother […]
Atlanta Falcons draft CB Avieon Terrell in 2nd round of 2026 NFL Draft
The Atlanta Falcons now will roll out the Terrell brothers in their secondary. Atlanta selected Avieon Terrell, A.J.’s younger brother and one of the best cornerback prospects in this draft class, with the 48th overall pick. It’s hard to argue with this selection based on ability or vibes. Having the Two Terrells as starting cornerbacks […]
Falcons fans are adamant that Atlanta was wise to avoid trading into the first round
The first round of the 2026 NFL Draft was an eventful one, particularly for trades. There was a run of trade-ups near the end of the night, which begged the question for those teams without a first-round pick: would it be wise to consider a trade-up? It was a question I asked Falcons fans after […]

Falcons draft 2026 Day 2 discussion: What to watch for when Atlanta drafts
The Atlanta Falcons are scheduled to pick twice tonight. As anticipated, they did not move back into the first round, given that it would have cost them a quality player and/or future draft capital. Instead, they’ll go into the evening with a chance to add to the roster, make trades, or both. Use this post […]

2026 NFL Draft: Best available prospects for Day 2
It was a quiet Day 1 of the NFL draft for your Atlanta Falcons. In case you’ve been in a coma, the Falcons did not have a first-round pick this year after trading it away to acquire James Pearce Jr. in the 2025 draft. Ian Cunningham is now preparing to make his first pick–after team […]
The 2026 NFL Draft’s first day in brief
The first round is over, and predictably, the Falcons did not try to jump up and make any picks. They’ll be on the clock tomorrow night, though, which we’re very much looking forward to. Here are a few impressions and takeaways from the first night’s festivities. The NFC South got better, regrettably There are question […]
