Where Falcons stand in 2027 NFL Draft order after Week 9 loss
2026 NFL Draft order: Falcons move up to projected No. 10 overall pick
The Atlanta Falcons recently completed the trade deadline by sending star safety Jessie Bates III to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a 2027 second-round draft pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick. Despite winning against the San Francisco 49ers, the injuries the Niners had to deal with make this victory an asterisk. Following their Week 9 loss, the Falcons find themselves in the 2027 NFL Draft order.
The current standings place them just behind the Los Angeles Chargers, Tennessee Titans, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Commanders, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Falcons' immediate draft priority is right tackle, followed by wide receiver and cornerback needs. Safety is also a high priority after the loss of Jessie Bates III.
