The Falcons pledged to add draft picks and avoid selling off future year selections, and they’ve followed that to this point. Now a trade has added another 2026 selection.
The Falcons moved back from pick 122 in the fourth round to 134, adding 208 in the process from the Raiders, who picked Arkansas running back Mike Washington Jr. They’ll now be picking near the end of the fourth round, getting a late sixth round for their troubles.
This will give Atlanta one more bite at the apple as they try to
fill out their depth chart and acquire some reserves with upside, and it tells you they weren’t married to any one prospect at 122. We’ll see who they wind up with now, but GM Ian Cunningham made it clear he wanted additional selections and now has grabbed one.
