The Atlanta Falcons are actively scouting prospects ahead of the 2025 NFL draft, with head coach Raheem Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot attending pro days at Marshall and Ohio State. The Buckeyes, fresh off a National Championship, showcase a strong defensive lineup, highlighting edge prospects J.T. Tuimoloau and Jack Sawyer, along with interior defensive lineman Tyleik Williams. All three are expected to be Day 2 picks, which aligns with the Falcons' needs as they aim to bolster their defense after struggling to find long-term starters in recent drafts.

Despite having limited draft capital, the Falcons are considering trading down to acquire additional mid-round picks. Fontenot has previously identified offensive talents but needs stronger defensive contributions, especially following the re-signing of Ta'Quon Graham, who has mainly played a rotational role. Young cornerback Clark Phillips III has also shown promise and could take on a more significant role this upcoming season.
