Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Falcons bet the future on Daniels. The board says D.

The Falcons went off the board in a big way for Hayden Hatten, 57 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Jayden Daniels is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, offensive lineman very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick 8 they get a passer to set the clock by. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick19 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 19 they get an island corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick74 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Good price on Mekhi Wingo in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A straight-up fair deal on Mohamed Kamara at slot 109, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Malik Mustapha at the 145th pick is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick189 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
They read the board right and Isaiah Davis was the payoff at the 189th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick201 Rnd6 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin in the 201st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick244 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
Hayden Hatten at pick No. 244 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
