Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureD+
The Falcons answered their biggest question with Maye. Grade: B.

The Falcons spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick No. 8 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at the 27th overall pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Good price on Chop Robinson in the 43rd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in Round 4, Pick 9 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams at No. 137 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick163 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick 163 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick189 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at slot 189 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick201 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Nice patience on Christian Jones, who had no business lasting to pick No. 201. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at the 244th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
