Overview
- Cunningham, who spoke Tuesday, said Atlanta will plan for only five selections and try to “manufacture” more if possible.
- Atlanta holds picks No. 48, 79, 122, 215 and 231, which fall in Rounds 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7.
- The missing first-rounder stems from last year’s trade to the Rams to draft edge rusher James Pearce Jr., leaving Atlanta without an early pick.
- A fifth-round pick went to Philadelphia for Xavier Watts, the Sydney Brown trade pushed the fourth and sixth picks down the order, and the team received no compensatory selections this year.
- The GM said he signed 17 free agents to cover depth this spring and wants future rosters built through the draft, with trade-downs or player deals possible to add picks.
