Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Falcons answered their biggest question with Daniels. Grade: B.

The search is over. The Falcons handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They are betting Rosengarten proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will answer for taking cornerback early while running back, edge rusher and other spots went begging. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
A clean, defensible pick in the 44th pick with a little surplus value in Tyler Nubin. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
A reach for Kris Abrams-Draine in slot 74; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick79 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in No. 79 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Cam Hart in pick No. 109 leaves running back, edge rusher and other spots for later.
Pick112 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 112th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
By-the-book stuff, Dallin Holker at Round 5, Pick 7 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at pick 148 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick197 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gabe Hall this early at the Round 6 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
