The needs are evident for Atlanta, but can we expect them to have a laser focus on those needs?
Everyone in the Atlanta Falcons organization is saying it. Terry Fontenot has mentioned how “loaded” this defensive draft class is, Raheem Morris has mentioned the need to upgrade the pass rush in particular, and Arthur Blank said Tuesday that the Falcons draft will “be focused” on defense.
The needs on defense are acute and varied, from greater depth along the defensive line to better edge rushers to improvements in the secondary, so that approach would make a ton of sense. With...

The Raheem Morris connection makes it natural to wonder, but there are real hurdles to a deal.
The Miami Dolphins are looking to move Jalen Ramsey, one of the great cornerbacks of his era. Every NFL team will have some degree of interest in Ramsey, even if it’s just a “hey, he’d be a nice addition to the roster” before moving on, and the Atlanta Falcons are no exception.
In fact, the Falcons are in need of secondary upgrades and have a strong connection to Ramsey through Raheem Morris, who was Ramsey’s defensive coordinator for years when the duo was...

The Falcons had a host of Bulldogs in for their local pro day, and it’s not unreasonable to think they’ll mine Georgia talent for their 2025 roster.
It would be fair to suggest that a healthy percentage of NFL talent comes from the state of Georgia, either born and raised in the state or through college programs. Native Georgians—and Georgia Bulldog fans in particular—often clamor for the Atlanta Falcons to add more talent from that pool.
In recent years, the Falcons have been scooping up Dawgs late in the draft, but this spring might show us an early round investment....

Despite relatively bad vibes surrounding the Falcons heading into the 2025 season, a clear majority of fans expect Atlanta to outperform their 7.5-win projection.
The vibes surrounding the Atlanta Falcons are...not great at the moment. A lackluster free agency period perpetuated by a lack of salary cap space has dampened the spirits of the fanbase, but there’s a long way to go before the season kicks off in September. The 2025 NFL Draft could certainly change minds, depending on what Atlanta is able to accomplish, and there’s obviously tons of hope surrounding 2024 first-round quarterback Michael Penix Jr.

The Falcons continued to bolster their secondary and special teams depth heading into the 2025 NFL Draft, re-signing defensive back Kevin King.
The Atlanta Falcons have continued to build up their secondary depth heading into the 2025 NFL Draft, announcing the re-signing of defensive back Kevin King on Friday afternoon. King, now heading into his age 30 season, spent the entirety of the 2024 season with the Falcons.
A former second-round pick of the Green Bay Packers (33rd overall) back in 2017, King never quite lived up to his draft hype. He did have a plus season in 2019, starting...

Who the Falcons are showing interest in, for what it’s worth.
The 2025 NFL Draft is almost here, so it’s a fine time to keep our annual Atlanta Falcons NFL Draft interest tracker rolling.
It’s an exciting time of year even when, as is the case in 2025, the Falcons have relatively limited draft capital to work with. We’ll temper your excitement ever so slightly by noting that interest does not always or even often translate into a player being drafted by Atlanta, even when they have multiple opportunities to snag a player they seemingly have significant pre-draft interest in....
