The Atlanta Falcons are sitting at 3-7 and should be picking in the top 10 of the upcoming NFL Draft once again, but nope. The Dirty Birds sent their 2026 first-round pick to the Los Angeles Rams in order to trade up to No. 26 overall for James Pearce Jr. in a decision that has aged horribly over time.
If the season ended today, the Falcons would have sent the 10th overall pick to Los Angeles in order to move up for Pearce, which could drastically alter the future of both franchises. And with Matthew Stafford nearing the end of his NFL career, the Rams could capitalize with that draft pick.
