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.

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 […]
2026 NFL Draft first round open thread
The Atlanta Falcons have zero picks tonight, and seem unlikely to get any without trading away a high-end player. That means we’re free to watch what every other team does, find out what the Rams do with Atlanta’s former first rounder, and figure out who is still going to be available when the Falcons pick […]
A new Falcons regime faces their first draft test
The initial draft class is a crucial one for a new regime, and that’s no less true for the Matt Ryan, Ian Cunningham, and Kevin Stefanski cerberus in Flowery Branch. When you nail a core set of picks, as Thomas Dimitroff did in 2008 despite an uneven class overall, it can set the team up […]

James Pearce Jr.’s charges will all be dropped if he completes a program in Florida
James Pearce Jr.’s arrest, raft of charges, and the lurid details of his case have been one of the dominant stories of the Atlanta Falcons offseason. A team hoping to move forward with a completely new regime and new uniforms has avoided saying much about the situation to date. We’ll see if that changes during […]
Your 2026 Atlanta Falcons draft primer
It’s here. Tonight will bring the start of the 2026 NFL Draft, and while the Falcons don’t currently have any selections tonight, they do have five spread out over the next three days. After a surprisingly busy free agency period focused on bringing in short-term salves for the team’s many needs, this is the best […]
Falcons draft 2026: Bold predictions and final thoughts, Falcoholic Live, Ep372
Falcons fans, it’s NFL Draft Eve! The 2026 NFL Draft kicks off on Thursday, and while our beloved Falcons don’t have a first-rounder, the team still has five picks and a lot of buzz around a potential trade for tight end Kyle Pitts. Kevin Knight and Adnan Ikic deliver their boldest draft predictions and final […]
Falcons 7-round mock draft: Final draft and trade predictions
The 2026 NFL Draft is just days away, and the Atlanta Falcons are finalizing their draft plans. At the same time, I’ve been finalizing my final 7-round mock draft. This will be the biggest and baddest one yet, complete with my best-guess predictions and some potentially shocking trades. This is a particularly difficult year for […]
Falcons brass discusses strengths and weaknesses of 2026 NFL Draft class Monday
The Atlanta Falcons will continue to say they’re going to draft the best player available, as Terry Fontenot did, but that will likely look different under a new regime. More to the point, the Falcons have to weigh the idealized BPA (which would be truly position-agnostic) versus the realities of their situation (significant roster holes […]
Will the Falcons’ 2026 draft be physical or flashy?
The 2026 NFL Draft offers the Atlanta Falcons an opportunity to establish a new identity under new head coach Kevin Stefanski and general manager Ian Cunningham. Both have stated their intentions to construct a physically-minded football team by building through the trenches. But actions speak louder than words, and it remains to be seen whether […]
Adam Schefter believes Kyle Pitts will draw interest from other teams during NFL Draft
All signs have pointed to the Falcons retaining Kyle Pitts in 2026. He’s signed his franchise tender, is the best receiving tight end on a team that will be spamming that button under Kevin Stefanski, and is coming off a career season that suggest the best is yet to come for the 25-year-old mega-talent. I […]
NFL Draft: The 5 best Falcons scheme fits in the 2026 class
When you don’t have a first-round pick in a draft, the notion that you can just take the best player left on the board, and fit him into your system as you go, takes a bit of a knock. You are then tasked with ensuring that the guys you take from the second round on […]
ESPN nails Falcons draft mission: don’t borrow from the future
Terry Fontenot made five draft-day trades in his five seasons in Atlanta, four of them jumping up and one trading back. In those five trades, Fontenot never picked up a single selection, and out of the eight players he acquired making those trades, only James Pearce Jr. (whose future with the team in uncertain), Matthew […]
Falcons draft strategy and targets with Thor Nystrom
The Falcons have limited draft capital and a lot of needs in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft. Kevin Knight is joined by Thor Nystrom to discuss Atlanta’s new brain trust, draft strategy with no first rounder and only five picks, and top targets for the Falcons on Day 2. Fellow Falcoholics, welcome to another episode […]
Report: Falcons swap DL Ruke Orhorhoro for Jaguars DL Maason Smith
It isn’t very often that you see two players from the same draft class traded for one another just two years after they were drafted, and it’s even less often that you see that happen with a player one franchise moved up for in that particular draft class. Yet Adam Schefter is reporting that the […]
A brief history of every Falcons draft selection number in 2026
The Falcons only have five picks this year, and none before the middle of the second round. That means we’re going to be waiting a while to see who they pick, and we have time to let our thoughts wander to topics like…who they picked the last time they had these selections. As I do […]
Michael Penix Jr. impersonator obtained fraudulent loans in NFL players’ names
Yes, that is an extremely weird headline. Just wait until you read the details. Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is in the news through absolutely zero fault of his own. Former Alabama player Luther Davis and his co-conspirator, CJ Evins are in extremely hot water for obtaining nearly $20 million in fraudulent loans by impersonating […]
Falcons draft 2026: Michael Turner to announce one of Atlanta’s Day 2 picks
Part of the fun of the draft each year are the guests tapped to announce various picks throughout the the event. Keith Brooking announced one for the Falcons last year, and two years ago, my favorite Falcons RB of all time, Bijan Robinson, used his turn to let a young fan announce the pick in […]
