If it feels like deja vu all over again for the Falcons, that's because it is. Another year goes, and the wagon continues to circle around the same path with Atlanta addressing a major need defensively. If you're a historian like me, I like to look back and see the results of years past.
So, here's a fun exercise - let's harken back beginning in the 2021 NFL Draft up until last year in 2024, and take a look at the list of defensive players the Falcons have passed on: Micah Parsons (2021), Kyle Hamilton (2022), Jalen Carter (2023), and Jared Verse (2024).
Two things that stand out here:
The selection of Georgia Edge Mykel Williams is a great start:

So, here's a fun exercise - let's harken back beginning in the 2021 NFL Draft up until last year in 2024, and take a look at the list of defensive players the Falcons have passed on: Micah Parsons (2021), Kyle Hamilton (2022), Jalen Carter (2023), and Jared Verse (2024).
Two things that stand out here:
- All four were impact defensive players.
- The Falcons had a top-10 pick every year and had a chance to select each when on the clock.
The selection of Georgia Edge Mykel Williams is a great start:
Mykel Williams is this year's FREAKISH athlete at edge rusher (6'5", 270lbs, 35" arms).

FALCONS HISTORICAL DRAFT PICKS
Reach/Value (R/V) Explained
The difference between where a player is selected in the NFL draft versus where the player was listed on the final Drafttek Big Board for the season in question.Example: A player who was listed at #50 on the Big Board and was selected at #35 will be a "Reach" of -15. Alternately, a player listed at #35 on the Big Board who was selected at #50 is a +15 "Value".
Simply put: a positive number is a Value pick, a negative number is a Reach.
