"If you look at the selections from the first tracker, there were 26 unique prospects with six of them being selected in two different instances. If you didn't notice, three of them are wide receivers, all three with different skillsets. Whether that's indicative of the glaring need at wide receiver, a symptom of a full organizational reset, or a mixture of the two, I'll leave up to you."
"The number of receivers selected between the 13 mock drafts almost doubles the next two positions that, in my estimation, are the biggest needs that can be filled with Atlanta's day-two picks in cornerback and defensive tackle. I'm a bit surprised there weren't more offensive tackles in this draft, given Stefanski's propensity to run the football and the fact that Jake Matthews will be 34 years old at the start of the season."
"Ian Cunningham may not be the highest in command in Atlanta, but there's no doubt that his fingerprints will be all over Atlanta's drafts. So, our Kevin Knight took a quick look to see what Cunningham's influence could look like in"
The Atlanta Falcons completed their front office by hiring Ian Cunningham as general manager, joining head coach Kevin Stefanski and owner Arthur Blank. The organization is preparing for the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine and updating their mock draft analysis. Initial mock draft tracking revealed 26 unique prospects, with wide receivers appearing most frequently across selections, suggesting a significant organizational need at that position. Cornerback and defensive tackle were identified as secondary priorities for day-two picks. The analysis noted a surprising lack of offensive tackle selections despite Stefanski's run-heavy offensive philosophy and Jake Matthews' advancing age. The updated tracker incorporates 19 additional mock drafts identifying 23 new prospects available at the combine.
