The Atlanta Falcons are preparing for the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft with a focus on strengthening their defense. Holding the No. 15 pick in the first round, the team is exploring several key positions, including the secondary. This analysis highlights cornerback prospects who might appeal to the Falcons across all three days of the draft.
In Day 1 of the draft, Jahdae Barron from Texas and Will Johnson from Michigan emerge as potential candidates for Atlanta. Barron brings versatility with his experience both in the slot and as an outside corner. Johnson, known for his size and instincts, fits well with Atlanta's zone-heavy defense, though concerns about his injury history and speed have been noted.
For Day 2, Shavon Revel from East Carolina and Trey Amos from Ole Miss are under consideration. Revel, praised for his speed and length, remains a promising prospect despite recovering from a torn ACL. Meanwhile, Amos, recognized for impressive performances at Ole Miss and Louisiana-Lafayette, displays qualities of a future top cornerback.
On Day 3, prospects such as Jacob Parrish from Kansas State and Mac McWilliams from Central Florida are potential picks. Parrish, although undersized, exhibits strong instincts and competitiveness. McWilliams, noted for his speed and willingness to engage in run defense, could provide depth to the Falcons' lineup.
The Falcons’ draft choices are yet to be determined, providing a range of strategic options as the draft approaches.
