The Atlanta Falcons (NFC South) own 6 picks in the 2027 NFL Draft, starting at projected No. 10 overall in round 1. They hold a round 2 pick (projected No. 56) from the Jacksonville Jaguars and a round 7 pick (projected No. 198) from the New York Jets. They traded away their own round 5 pick (projected No. 138) to the Chicago Bears, round 6 pick (projected No. 170) to the Kansas City Chiefs and round 7 pick (projected No. 202) to the Seattle Seahawks. The Big Board's 2027 team-needs model rates safety as the biggest need (grade 60, moderate need), then edge rusher (62) and defensive tackle (65). Since the March 2026 grades the model moved QB need up (68 → 66), CB need down (80 → 90) and S need up (66 → 60); the quarterback read uses Michael Penix Jr., 26, 1 starter season. Kevin Stefanski is the head coach and Ian Cunningham the general manager.
