Round 1 begins on Thursday, April 23, but since the team has no first-round pick, Falcons general manager Ian Cunningham will have to wait until Day 2 to make his first official selection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The team has used pre-draft visits, combine meetings and virtual interviews to speak with dozens of prospects. While not every pre-draft meeting has been revealed, several have been reported over the last few weeks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Atlanta&#8217;s biggest offensive need is at the wide receiver position, which is an area that most analysts expect the team to target on Day 2. Thus far, many of the Falcons&#8217; pre-draft visits have been projected mid-to-late-round prospects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">So which offensive prospects have the Falcons met with ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft?
