Overall B-

ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-

The Falcons left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

Start where it matters. The Falcons took Jayden Daniels to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They will need McClellan to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick11 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels

In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a long-term answer under center, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.

Pick43 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey

A reach on Ladd McConkey in the 43rd pick; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.

Pick75 Rnd3 D.J. James

Nothing to complain about; D.J. James went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.

Pick111 Rnd4 Adisa Isaac

Adisa Isaac in No. 111 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.

Pick148 Rnd5 Ricky Pearsall

A tidy little value on Ricky Pearsall in the 148th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
