| 4/26/25 | 5 Prospects Who Make Sense for Rams on Day 3. The Los Angeles Rams finally made two selections on the second night of the NFL Draft. After trading back with the Atlanta Falcons, the team selected Terrance Ferguson as their newest tight end before taking edge rusher Josaiah Stewart at No. 90 overall. It's a solid start for the Rams, who had needs at both positions and secured two potential impact players right away. Los Angeles bestows six draft picks on the third day of the draft.

| 4/25/25 | Rams rumors: Two WRs LA tried to trade for in NFL Draft first round. The Los Angeles Rams ended the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft without making a pick, but that was not always their goal. Before trading the No. 26 pick to the Atlanta Falcons, the Rams reportedly tried to trade up for a pair of wideouts but could not get the deal done in time. The Rams supposedly tried to get the action going early, attempting to trade up for Arizona wideout Tetairoa McMillan, according to 'The Dan Patrick Show,' via SB Nation's Blaine Grisak. After that plan failed, general manager Les Snead got back on the phones in an effort to move up for Ohio State's Emeka Egbuka. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/los-angeles-rams/rams... |

| 4/24/25 | Falcons Go Green in The Athletic's Mock Draft. With fans, media and former players clamoring for the Atlanta Falcons to draft an edge rusher with the No. 15 overall pick in Thursday's first round, The Athletic delivered in their beat writer Mock Draft. Long-time Falcons' writer Josh Kendall selected Marshall's Mike Green when he was on the clock at No. 15. "Green, who led the FBS in sacks last year with 17, has off-field issues (two sexual assault allegations that resulted in no charges, and in which Green has denied any wrongdoing) and won't be an option for some teams, but Atlanta will point to strong references from his coaches and will be motivated by a chance to fix its historically bad sack numbers,” wrote Kendall on The Athletic. The Falcons chronically bad pass rush has been well documented. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/falcons/news/atlanta-falcon... |
| 4/23/25 | Experts' Choice: Who will Colts pick in first round of 2025 NFL Draft?. Consider this your annual reminder that 1) mock drafts are an inexact science and 2) teams operate with much more – much more – information than is accessible to the general public. A classic sliding doors moment happened last year when the Atlanta Falcons selected quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the No. 8 overall pick – this after signing Kirk Cousins to a sizable contract in free agency a month prior. The ripple effects of that pick were felt throughout the first round; when the Colts selected defensive end Laiatu Latu with the No. 15 overall pick, he was the first defensive player off the board.

| 4/23/25 | Atlanta Falcons Trade Back Twice in Dream Mock Draft from The Athletic. With the 2025 NFL Draft starting on Thursday night, the number of mock drafts thankfully draws to a close. The fatigue levels of reading various opinions regarding the Atlanta Falcons will morph into a discussion about who the team actually selected. With that in mind, we've seen players' stock seemingly rise significantly like Marshall edge rusher Mike Green or slip like Tennessee pass rusher James Pearce Jr.. Either way, by the time Monday morning rolls around, the world will know what the Falcons' draft strategy actually was and not subject to speculation. If you talk to a member of Falcons media or member of the fanbase, almost by a consensus, all want the organization to draft a pass rusher while adding more picks.

| 4/21/25 | Falcons add veteran quarterback amid Kirk Cousins trade rumors. The Atlanta Falcons appeared to fire off a signal ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft at quarterback. Their newest signing could officially help push Kirk Cousins out. Atlanta and head coach Raheem Morris have signed Easton Stick away from the Los Angeles Chargers. The franchise announced the signing Monday afternoon . Stick spent his entire career with the Bolts. He arrived as a fifth rounder in the 2019 NFL Draft. But Stick carried an astonishing 49-3 record at North Dakota State into the league. Stick spent his time backing up Justin Herbert. However, he emerged as a Chargers fan favorite during the preseason. Now he's adding depth behind QB1 Michael Penix Jr. — and signaling a Cousins trade is coming.

| 4/21/25 | 2025 NFL draft: Analyst predicts Panthers will trade up for Abdul Carter. A total of eight NFL writers and scouts from Bleacher Report were asked five questions. Question No. 2 was in regards to the “biggest draft-day trade?” Interesting enough, writers Gary Davenport and Brad Gagnon each spoke of a team in the NFC South moving up to grab Penn State's electrifying defender Abdul Carter, who could instantly rejuvenate a team's pass rush. It would make perfect sense for the Atlanta Falcons (Davenport's choice) and the Carolina Panthers to both want to make a move up for the talented Nittany Lion. Only the New England Patriots (28) had fewer sacks than the Falcons (31) in 2024. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/2025-nfl-draft-abd... |

The Atlanta Falcons will be on the clock with the No. 15 pick in the NFL draft on April 24. The Falcons haven't had a player with double-digit sacks since 2017, which also corresponds to the last time they had a winning record and earned a playoff berth.

| 4/18/25 | Could Saints Replace Derek Carr With Trade For Hated Division Rival?. Bleacher Report's Moe Moton recently listed Atlanta Falcons backup quarterback Kirk Cousins as one of the more likely players in the league to be traded this offseason. "Atlanta will move forward with second-year quarterback Michael Penix Jr., so Cousins, who has been a full-time starter since 2015, probably wants an opportunity to lead an offense elsewhere," Moton wrote. The Saints need a new quarterback, especially if Derek Carr is going to miss the entire 2025 season with a shoulder injury. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/saints/news/could-saints-re... |
| 4/17/25 | Falcons expected to take advantage of NFL draft's deep pool of edge rushers to boost poor pass rush. The Atlanta Falcons are expected to take advantage of the NFL draft's deep pool of edge rushers even after addressing the need in free agency. The only question may be if the Falcons will look for pass rush help with the No. 15 overall pick or wait until later in the draft. The Falcons have only five picks in the draft, including the No. 46 pick in the second round. Atlanta signed Leonard Floyd to a one-year, $10 million deal to add experience and punch to a pass rush after finishing next to last in the league with 31 sacks in 2024.
