Falcons to pick 15th in each round of the 2006 NFL Draft

The order for the first twenty picks in the first round of the 2006 NFL Draft has been determined, based on the final regular season records from 2005. Teams with similar records were separated by examining the collective winning percentage of their 2005 opponents. Teams with the same records who faced opponents with a lower winning percentage are given the nod over teams who faced opponents with higher winning percentages.

Based on their 8-8 finish, the Falcons will receive the 15th overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft.

Draft order for rounds two through seven will be released later this winter.
