The Atlanta Falcons came into the 2025 NFL draft with a clear plan to upgrade their defense. As Day 3 winds down, the defense has undoubtedly improved. The team landed a projected top-10 pick in Georgia linebacker Jalon Walker to kick off Round 1.

The Falcons got their guy and the Rams got more than they expected in a trade back. Just about everyone believes Los Angeles won the trade, but people were also saying the Panthers fleeced the Rams in their deal for Fiske last year – and we all saw how well that’s turned out for L.A.

The Rams sent the 26th pick and a third-round pick in this year's NFL draft to the Atlanta Falcons for three draft picks.
