""For us, it's one of those things where we have to go into this thinking we only have five picks. That's worst case. If we come out of [the draft] with just five picks, we come out of it with just five picks.""
""Acquiring additional capital during rounds three through five would be a logical goal for the Falcons. The 2026 class has been noted more for its depth than its star power.""
""Cunningham noted his busy approach to free agency was partially informed by Atlanta's lack of draft capital.""
""The Falcons are coming off an eighth consecutive losing season, and Cunningham's hire was part of a major housecleaning in the organization.""
Ian Cunningham, the new general manager of the Falcons, is preparing for the upcoming draft with only five picks. He acknowledges this as a worst-case scenario and is exploring ways to acquire additional picks. The Falcons lack a first-round pick in 2026 due to a previous trade, making their top selection No. 48. Cunningham aims to focus on depth acquisitions to support recent free agent signings, as the team seeks to improve after eight consecutive losing seasons and return to the playoffs.
