Because of a draft-day trade last season, the Rams own the Falcons’ first-round pick in 2026. That trade saw Atlanta send L.A. 2025 second- and seventh-round picks, as well as a 2026 first-round pick, in exchange for the No. 26 pick (with which the Falcons selected James Pearce Jr.,) and a 2025 third rounder.

For this report, we will be discussing a safety. The team has a dynamic duo in Harrison Smith and Josh Metellus, but Smith may have played in the final game of his career based on the send-off he received after Week 18.
