Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA
Penix Jr. is the Falcons' new face under center. Grade: B.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Falcons spent their marquee pick on Michael Penix Jr., and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Fuaga falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

The Falcons indulged a want in Hart while a need in interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots stayed open. Every board in the league had Rosengarten lower, and that gap is the story.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In the 20th pick they get a franchise quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Taliese Fuaga
They will replay Taliese Fuaga at pick 43 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
A slide stopped in No. 74, with Javon Bullard worth more than the price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick79 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
They read the board right and Devontez Walker was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 15. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick84 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
No drama and no debate, Khyree Jackson went about where he belonged in slot 84. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cam Hart adds a cornerback and leaves interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick120 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at the 143rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick197 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
By-the-book stuff, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at pick 197 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
