The Atlanta Falcons' pass rush was historic in 2025. The Dirty Birds broke the franchise single-season sack record and finished second in the NFL behind the Broncos. With a complete overhaul of leadership in Atlanta, the one remaining cornerstone is Jeff Ulbrich, the defensive coordinator.
As he looks to replicate his 2025 success, the Falcons must continue to bolster the defense, especially with James Pearce Jr's current legal uncertainty. With that in mind, we shift our focus to draft season, where PFF's Gordon McGuinness gifted the Falcons with an interesting pickup in round two of his three-round mock draft.
