We are less than two weeks until the 2025 NFL Draft officially kicks off. For the Atlanta Falcons, they are in the middle of an interesting offseason. Their offense is young and dynamic, but the defense needs a lot of retooling. Everyone knows what the strategy is going to be.
The Falcons head into the draft with only five total selections. There is a strong possibility that they could be a trade back candidate to increase the amount of draft capital. If they do stick with their five selections, there is still a strong chance that the team can improve tremendously with what should be available.
Round 1, Pick 15: Shemar Stewart, EDGE Texas A&M
The tools are tremendous, but the production isn’t right now. There is little questioning the amount of talent that Stewart brings to the table. If he is able to develop properly, the ceiling is the roof.
Round 2, Pick 46: Azareye’h Thomas, CB Florida State
If you like press man cornerbacks, you won’t find any better than Thomas in this class. Thomas is super physical and also possesses really underrated change of direction skills. In the right system, Thomas has a chance to be tremendous.
Round 4, Pick 118: Vernon Broughton, DT Texas
Broughton went largely under the radar during his final season with the Longhorns. His play style isn’t flashy, but it is very efficient. He does a lot of the dirty work, and plays big consistently.
Round 7, Pick 218: Ethan Downs, EDGE Oklahoma
Like Broughton, there is nothing overly flashy about Downs. You aren’t drafting him to come in and become a star pass rusher. No, you are drafting him to come in and play good run defense, play with great effort, and be a glue guy for a team.
Round 7, Pick 242: Kain Medrano, LB UCLA
Underrated while playing next to Carson Schwesinger, Medrano is actually the better athlete of the two. He is a guesser as a processor and misses way too many tackles, which is the reason he has fallen to this spot. There are still a lot of athletic traits to work with.
Georgia LB Jalon Walker is towing a dangerous line ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft officially kicking off
Jalon Walker, tweener or versatile?
