Falcons have no 2nd-round draft pick; expected to take cornerback in 3rd

FLOWERY BRANCH — After the trade Thursday with the Los Angeles Rams to move back into the first round, the Falcons will not have a second-round pick when the draft resumes at 7 p.m. Friday in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

The Falcons now own the Rams’ third-round pick, which is No. 101 overall.

The Falcons are projected by the Pro Football Network to take a cornerback.

(101) Atlanta Falcons (from LAR): Jacob Parrish, CB, Kansas State

“At some point, the Falcons need to invest in the 2025 NFL Draft CB group. Jacob Parrish isn’t the biggest defender, but he’s twitched-up, feisty, explosive on the attack, and competitive at the catch, and he has ideal slot-boundary versatility next to AJ Terrell.”
