The Atlanta Falcons need immediate help on defense, but they can't ignore positions where they have entrenched starters.

Since the 2018 offseason, the Atlanta Falcons have been searching for answers on the defensive side of the ball. Those same questions will be asked again in 2025 as the team looks to pair an explosive offense with a defense that is at least competent.

General manager Terry Fontenot suggested the Falcons could trade down at his end-of-the-year press conference. 2025 will be the first year that Fontenot doesn’t enter the draft with a top-10 pick.

The Falcons stumbled out of their chance at winning the NFC South. But these trade ideas can bolster Atlanta's chances to redeem itself.
