Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Falcons answered their biggest question with Maye. Grade: C+.

Start where it matters. The Falcons took Drake Maye to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

They will need Steele to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. That Corley pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Hit on Drake Maye and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Drake Maye
Fair-plus on Drake Maye, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick42 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
The board had Quinyon Mitchell higher than pick No. 42, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at pick 48 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at the 74th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick96 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
The board fumbled Malachi Corley all the way to the 96th pick, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
A tidy bit of business in No. 110, where Mason McCormick graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in Round 4, Pick 23; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick142 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A straight-up fair deal on Luke McCaffrey at slot 142, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Jefferson in pick No. 157, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Javon Baker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Javon Baker in slot 189. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They liked Jared Wiley enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 201. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick241 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele at Round 7, Pick 21 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
