The Atlanta Falcons are going into the 2026 NFL Draft with a new head coach, general manager and president of football, but they have no first-round pick due to last year's trade for edge rusher James Pearce Jr. This means the team will have to sit out on Day 1 of the draft.

The Falcons won't make their first pick until Day 2, starting with the 48th overall selection in Round 2 followed by the 79th overall pick in Round 3. However, considering the team's lack of draft capital, trades are very much in play. Don't be surprised to see the team trade down on Day 2 for more picks.

After examining the past decade of players selected at the team's second-round draft slot, let's check out the last 10 players drafted with the Falcons' third-round slot (pick No. 79 overall).

The Falcons will make their third-round pick late on Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft, which kicks off Friday at 7 p.m. ET.
