The 2025 NFL Draft is almost here, so it’s a fine time to keep our annual Atlanta Falcons NFL Draft interest tracker rolling.
It’s an exciting time of year even when, as is the case in 2025, the Falcons have relatively limited draft capital to work with. We’ll temper your excitement ever so slightly by noting that interest does not always or even often translate into a player being drafted by Atlanta, even when they have multiple opportunities to snag a player they seemingly have significant pre-draft interest in. This tracker should be considered a look at a wide range of draft and post-draft possibilities rather than a predictive sort of piece, in other words.
Last year, Michael Penix’s top 30 visit and workout was a legitimate indicator, and the Falcons also met with Bralen Trice and Laiatu Latu (who they reportedly tried to trade up for after drafting Penix) at the Combine, and summertime undrafted free agent receiver Odieu Hilaire was a virtual meeting. That’s about it, but it’s still more than we saw in 2023, indicating a handful of names on this list may well be future Falcons.
Here’s an ever-evolving list of players the Falcons have been linked to, from prospect showcase bowls to the scouting combine to Top 30 visits.
