Where do the Atlanta Falcons pick in the 2026 NFL Draft?

The Atlanta Falcons do not have a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL draft, and they currently don’t have a general manager to make the selection. Team owner Arthur Blank dismissed both head coach Raheem Morris and GM Terry Fontenot following the team’s 8-9 finish.

While the Falcons didn’t make the playoffs this season, Fontenot’s bold draft day trade for James Pearce Jr. paid off in a big way. Pearce finished with 10.5 sacks, leading all rookies, and the Falcons went from having the NFL’s second-worst pass rush to having the No. 2 unit with 57 sacks in 2025.
