The Rams packaged two 2025 picks in exchange for three picks from the Falcons, with one of those picks being in 2026. Now that the pieces of that trade are all in place, it’s time to take a closer look and reevaluate the move. Original terms of the Falcons’ 2025 NFL Draft trade Rams receive: 2025 second-round pick (46 overall), 2025 seventh-round pick (242 overall), and 2026 first-round pick Falcons receive: 2025 first-round pick (26 overall) and 2025 third-round pick (101 overall) Who did the Falcons select with the picks from their 2025 NFL Draft trade with the Rams?

The Falcons took their second pass rusher of the 2025 first round. After selecting Jalon Walker with their initial pick, Atlanta added James Pearce Jr. with pick 26.

The 101st pick didn’t get used by the Falcons, though. They moved it as part of a package to trade up to pick 96 and select Xavier Watts, the safety from Notre Dame. What did the Rams do with the picks from their 2025 NFL Draft trade with the Falcons?
