FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The 2026 NFL Draft is quickly approaching, and the Atlanta Falcons will be making their first selections under general manager Ian Cunningham and head coach Kevin Stefanski.
Each week throughout draft season, we'll comb through the national mock drafts to get a sense of who people believe the Falcons will take in April. Keep in mind that the Falcons don't have a selection until pick No. 48 in the second round, so there may not be as many mock drafts reflecting an Atlanta pick as usual.

Here are the latest mock draft predictions for the Falcons through Thursday, March 26:
MOCK DRAFTER: Josh Edwards – CBS Sports
LAST MOCK PUBLISHED: March 26
PICK: EDGE Malachi Lawrence — UCF
EDWARDS'S ANALYSIS: "Malachi Lawrence is a long, athletic edge rusher who should allow Atlanta to remain out of the basement in regards to pass-rush production."
MOCK DRAFTER: Field Yates - ESPN
LAST MOCK PUBLISHED: March 25
PICK: OT Max Iheanachor — Arizona State
YATES'S ANALYSIS: "It's plausible that Iheanachor is also gone way before this selection, as he has major upside due to only five years of football experience. (He did not play in high school.) He showed steady annual improvement at Arizona State and has excellent traits, including an 83¼-inch wingspan."
MOCK DRAFTER: Chad Reuter — NFL Network
LAST MOCK PUBLISHED: March 20
PICK: DT Kayden McDonald — Ohio State
REUTER'S ANALYSIS: N/A
