"Last year was a banner year for draft interest matching up with results, as the Falcons actually took players from their local pro day (Jalon Walker), top 30 visits (James Pearce Jr.), and NFL Scouting Combine (Billy Bowman Jr.). Undrafted free agent tackle Jordan Williams, who was also at the local pro day, spent the summer with the team too. Some years only one or two of the names reported out actually land in Atlanta, so that was something."
"The Atlanta Falcons will roll into this year's draft with a new President of Football (TM), general manager, and head coach. That means we have to throw out what we know about this team's tendencies and learn new ones, especially in terms of who this team will be interested in."
"As always, we're maintaining our 2026 NFL Draft interest tracker right here. This will be full of reported top 30 visits, virtual meetings, and outsized interest shown at post-season all-star games and the scouting combine. The list will start small and grow as we get new reports in the door."
A 2026 NFL Draft interest tracker will list reported top-30 visits, virtual meetings, and interest shown at post-season all-star games and the scouting combine. The list will begin small and expand as new reports arrive. Last year, the Falcons selected players who attended the local pro day (Jalon Walker), had top-30 visits (James Pearce Jr.), and attended the combine (Billy Bowman Jr.). Undrafted free agent Jordan Williams, who attended the local pro day, spent the summer with the team. RB Barika Kpeenu (North Dakota State) is listed per source. Senior Bowl meetings are routine, with every team meeting every prospect unless otherwise noted. The Falcons' new front office under Ian Cunningham may change how interest is telegraphed.
