Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons drew a line under the quarterback search with Maye: 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. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Kinchens steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick 8 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at the 43rd overall pick is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick79 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at slot 79 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
A straight-up fair deal on Mekhi Wingo at the 109th pick, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dallin Holker. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick197 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They paid sticker price for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick No. 197, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
