Atlanta has no first-round draft pick in 2026.
The Atlanta Falcons are in a tough spot after suffering their eighth loss of the season to the New York Jets on Sunday. While the team had high hopes coming into the year, the playoffs are pretty much off the table and fans have already begun to look ahead to next season.
Unfortunately, the Falcons have no first-round pick in 2026 due to last year’s draft day trade for James Pearce Jr. While Pearce has recorded a sack in four straight games and is tied with Jalon Walker for the NFL lead in sacks (5.0) among rookies, the pick that Atlanta sent to the Los Angeles Rams now sits at No. 9 overall.
The Falcons will have to hit some home runs in the middle rounds of the 2026 NFL draft, which they were able to do last year with third-round pick Xavier Watts and fourth-round pick Billy Bowman Jr. So, which picks do the Falcons have in 2026?
Here’s a look at the team’s current draft selections, not including potential compensatory picks (via Tankathon).
