With only four draft picks as of now, the Falcons must prioritize adding dynamic talent to their defensive front. Linebacker Kaden Ellis was the lone bright spot as a pass rusher in 2024, generating 42 total pressures with a 20.5% win rate. Edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie contributed nine sacks and 44 total pressures but managed just a 13.1% win rate, while none of Atlanta’s other regulars exceeded a 9% win rate. Fortunately, this draft class is deep at edge rusher, giving the Falcons plenty of quality options with either (or both) of their top-50 picks. They could also look to address safety, especially if they cannot re-sign Justin Simmons, with Day 2 offering several intriguing options at the position.
