In his final pre-draft press conference, Atlanta Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot spotlighted 'Impact' as the key theme for this year's draft. His latest draft strategy marked a significant departure from past practices, as he shunned reaching for favored prospects and focused on selecting the best talent based on consensus rankings. Notably, the Falcons managed to secure several players regarded as steals by avoiding picks built on intuition, leading to a highly regarded draft class that positioned them first in the NFL in draft value in 2025.
In a departure from previous drafts, the Falcons prioritized consensus value over personal preferences, achieving what could be their most impactful class yet.
Fontenot made a conscious effort to avoid prediction reaches, resulting in multiple selections viewed as steals, positioning the Falcons at the top of the league.
