The Atlanta Falcons earned high marks for their 2025 NFL Draft class, focusing on defense and adding high-value players with just five picks.

Now that the 2025 NFL draft has concluded, we've seen several different opinions, both positive and negative, on the Atlanta Falcons' five-player draft class. The critics have mostly focused on their decision to trade a future first-round pick to move up to pick No.

Following the 2025 NFL draft, the Atlanta Falcons offense will look nearly identical to last year's unit. However, the defense has undergone some major changes at key positions of need. The team added three potential long-term starters in Jalon Walker, James Pearce Jr. and Xavier Watts.
