The Atlanta Falcons found a steal in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Harold Perkins Jr., a linebacker and superstar athlete out of LSU, was never supposed to be available late on Day 3. Yet, there he sat at pick 215, and the Falcons couldn't run the card to the podium quick enough. Now, they are watching him do everything it takes to become a superstar in the NFL. He has been working with a Georgia legend this offseason as he prepares for his first training camp.

It has been no secret that Tua Tagovailoa was one of the worst quarterbacks during his final year with the Miami Dolphins. After some electrifying seasons, everything went downhill for the 28-year-old. However, there were also extenuating circumstances that put Tua in a no-win situation. Mike McDaniel's offense had run its course, and the team's top targets struggled to stay healthy.

There is no doubt that the Atlanta Falcons' roster entering 2026 is better than the 2025 roster. They have added more depth, are getting healthier, and have a better coaching staff. However, it might not be enough to break their long playoff drought. This roster still has some weak positions that everyone should be worried about, especially if no action is taken between now and the fast-approaching season. Let's look at those positions and why they could be so problematic.
