Each week throughout draft season, we'll comb through the national mock drafts to get a sense of who people believe the Falcons will take in April. The Falcons don't have a selection until pick No. 48 in the second round, so there may not be as many mock drafts reflecting an Atlanta pick as usual.

Why it matters

The Falcons are entering a new era under Cunningham and Stefanski, and their first draft picks will be crucial in shaping the team's future. Analyzing the latest mock drafts can provide insights into the types of players and positions the team may be targeting.

The details

The latest mock draft predictions for the Falcons include a wide receiver (Germie Bernard), a defensive tackle (Caleb Banks), a running back (Jadarian Price), an edge rusher (R. Mason Thomas), and a defensive tackle (Christen Miller). The Falcons have just five picks in the 2026 draft, with only two in the top 100 selections.

  • The 2026 NFL Draft is quickly approaching.
  • The Falcons will be making their first selections under general manager Ian Cunningham and head coach Kevin Stefanski.

What they’re saying

“Atlanta's first pick is a big swing on Banks, who has top-20 talent but was limited to just 90 snaps in 2025. He recently underwent foot surgery and is expected to be shelved from full football activity until June.”

— Field Yates, ESPN

“The Falcons shouldn't mind investing this high in strong insurance for Bijan Robinson in the ideal Tyler Allgeier replacement.”

— Vinnie Iyer, The Sporting News

What’s next

The Falcons will continue to monitor the latest mock drafts and player projections as they prepare for the 2026 NFL Draft, which is scheduled to take place in April.

The takeaway

The Falcons' first draft under Cunningham and Stefanski will be crucial in shaping the team's future, and the latest mock drafts suggest they may be targeting a mix of offensive and defensive talent to complement their existing core of players.
