Episode Details

Atlanta Falcons target defensive line stability with a potential trade-back in the 2026 NFL Draft—can Christen Miller from Georgia anchor the next wave of talent in Atlanta? Host Aaron Freeman breaks down Josh Kendall’s (The Athletic) 7-round mock draft, spotlighting Miller's blend of pass rush and run defense, plus the strategic value of late-round picks. Key prospects like Davison Igbinosun, Malachi Fields, and Kaelon Black also come under scrutiny, as the Falcons eye upgrades in the secondary, at wide receiver, and in their RB depth behind Bijan Robinson. 

Is a late-round quarterback flyer the answer for Atlanta’s future under center? The episode unpacks special teams depth targets like Jaishawn Barham, the impact of trade-back scenarios, and the ongoing debate on what is the team’s top priority. With references to combine performances, scheme fits, and lessons from the Ian Cunningham era, this breakdown is essential listening for Falcons fans prepping for the NFL Draft.
