2025 may finally be the year the Falcons tap into their in-state collegiate companions. A large group of Falcons' brass was seen in Athens Wednesday at the UGA Pro Day. The Bulldogs have another stacked class heading into the NFL Draft and the Falcons could be primed to take someone at No. 15 overall.

DL/LBs Jalon Walker and Mykel Williams are the two most linked to Atlanta as their talent and need by the team should align perfectly where the Falcons are selecting. Safety Malaki Starks could also be an option if the team decides to trade down and collect more picks.

The team has long been questioned as to why they have not selected more Georgia products in recent years but they have a chance to take a player that makes sense for them and exactly what the team needs most.
