Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Daniels, and a B, for the Falcons.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Falcons' quarterback, full stop. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 8th pick they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Legette at No. 43, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith slipping to pick No. 109 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick145 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
By-the-book stuff, Sincere Haynesworth at pick 145 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell in slot 189 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A reasonable price with a little left over, Joshua Gray in the 201st overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick244 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Value with a capital V on Fentrell Cypress II in Round 7, Pick 24, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
