Where do the Falcons pick in each round of the 2026 NFL Draft?

The Atlanta Falcons made headlines for taking an aggressive approach in last year's draft, and while the trade for James Pearce Jr. is all that many will remember, the team still found two more defensive starters in the middle rounds.

Third-round pick Xavier Watts led all rookies with five interceptions and was a finalist for the Defensive Rookie of the Year award. And in the fourth round, the Falcons landed Oklahoma defensive back Billy Bowman Jr., who won the team's starting nickel job over Dee Alford.

Bowman unfortunately injured his Achilles in the middle of the season, but both players thrived as rookies and should play key roles in Atlanta's secondary going forward. Pearce's future remains up in the air, but the Rams won't be giving the Falcons their first-pound pick back anytime soon.

Atlanta recently swapped fifth- and sixth-round picks with the Philadelphia Eagles to acquire safety Sydney Brown, but the team still has five total picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, as you can see below.
