Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ 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. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Reaching for Bothroyd left real value on the table behind him. However the rest shakes out, Thomas at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
Jayden Daniels at the 8th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick43 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 43 with a little surplus value in Adonai Mitchell. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
They went early on Gabriel Murphy in Round 3, Pick 10, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick109 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Khyree Jackson in the Round 4 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick145 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
No drama and no debate, Edefuan Ulofoshio went about where he belonged in pick 145. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick189 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 189 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick201 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Somehow Josh Proctor was still sitting there in No. 201, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick244 Rnd7 Rondell Bothroyd
Rondell Bothroyd in the 244th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
