The Falcons have three picks in the first six rounds of the NFL Draft. Adding more via trade should be their top priority.

The Atlanta Falcons will look to upgrade a defense that finished in the bottom-third of the league in both points and yards allowed last season. Since the team ranked 31st in the NFL with 31 sacks, many expect Atlanta to target an edge rusher.

In this 2025 NFL Mock Draft, Johnson is the best remaining prospect at a position of need for the Falcons. His injury-impacted 2024 campaign has soured his stock a bit, but he’s still a top-flight coverage defender with vision, coverage malleability, and ball skills.
