| 4/29/25 | Falcons Third-Rounder Ranked Among Best Picks in 2025 NFL Draft. Much of the national conversation around the 2025 NFL Draft for the Atlanta Falcons has been the team's trade back up into the first round. But general manager Terry Fontenot orchestrated two significant trades up the board during the 2025 Draft. The second trade up was for Notre Dame safety Xavier Watts.
