During a press conference at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana, Atlanta Falcons GM Ian Cunningham discussed the team's approach to the upcoming NFL Draft. He reiterated the commitment to drafting the best player available, while also acknowledging the need to consider the depth of various positions. The Falcons have identified wide receiver and edge rusher as deep positions, with potential prospects like Zachariah Branch from Georgia and KC Concepcion from Texas A&M. However, the defensive tackle position is seen as shallow, which may lead the team to prioritize it earlier in the draft. Cunningham confirmed that the Falcons are not expected to trade up into the first round, as they are comfortable waiting to make selections. Head Coach Kevin Stefanski emphasized that the draft class's perceived value varies, suggesting the team could find useful players with a patient approach.
