Examining the Falcons depth chart ahead of 2026 NFL Draft

The Atlanta Falcons have made several changes since the start of NFL free agency, and now the team is locked in on the 2026 NFL Draft. Round 1 kicks off on Thursday, April 23, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. While the Falcons are hoping to make the most out of their five selections, they can't expect many to find many impact players with their first pick not coming until the middle of the second round.

Although, anything can happen and last year, the team found two mid-round starters in Xavier Watts and Billy Bowman Jr. The Falcons recently signed offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor and traded for defensive tackle Maason Smith, both of whom we expect to see start next season. We'll have to wait and see what general manager Ian Cunningham has up his sleeve, but we don't expect many major lineup changes following the draft.

With that said, let's check out the Falcons' updated depth chart ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft below. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. (9) Tua Tagovailoa (1) Trevor Siemian (13) Running Back Bijan Robinson (7) Brian Robinson Jr.
