Where the Atlanta Falcons pick in 2025 NFL Draft

The 2025 NFL Draft is right around the corner, and Falcons fans are excited because for the first time under Terry Fontenot the team is primed to take a defender in the first round.

Overall, the Falcons own five selections, the fewest under Fontenot’s tutelage.

• First round | Pick No. 15
• Second round | Pick No. 46
• Fourth round | Pick No. 118
• Seventh round | Pick No. 218
• Seventh round | Pick No. 242

The Falcons don’t have their third-round pick this year because they sent it to the Patriots in exchange for Matthew Judon late last summer, a trade that obviously didn’t work out for Atlanta. The fifth-rounder was taken away after the NFL found the team tampered with Kirk Cousins and Darnell Mooney during last year’s free agency period.

The Falcons picked up a seventh-round pick, No. 242, during the 2023 campaign. The trade centered around Van Jefferson, with the Falcons giving the Rams their sixth-rounder this year in exchange for Jefferson and the seventh.

The other seventh-rounder was acquired when the Falcons sent Taylor Heinicke to the Chargers before the 2024 campaign. Had the veteran met certain snap count thresholds, that would’ve converted to a sixth-round pick.

The first, second, and fourth-round picks are the only ones that were originally the Falcons. If Terry Fontenot doesn’t acquire more draft capital, it would tie the 2006 class for the fewest draft picks in franchise history.
