Draft Grade — Falcons

Daniels is the Falcons' new face under center. Grade: B-.

The war room fell hard for Taulia Tagovailoa, and it showed at pick No. 197: 91 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

Whatever Jayden Daniels becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In No. 8 they get a passer to set the clock by. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They took Chris Braswell at par in slot 43, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74 Rnd3 Malik Washington
They reached into another round for Malik Washington, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at Round 3, Pick 15 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
A wild overpay on Jaylin Simpson in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A reach on Tykee Smith in the 143rd pick; the board had better options right there. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick187 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at Round 6, Pick 12 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick197 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
They left a pile of value on the table to take Taulia Tagovailoa this early at the 197th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
