Draft Grade — Falcons

FutureB-
The Falcons drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: D. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Falcons shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.
Everything downstream of Jayden Daniels depends on Jayden Daniels, and the building knows it. They will need Gore Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. They will answer for taking TE-EDGE early while interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots went begging.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In the 8th pick they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a bendy edge with upside, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick44
Rnd2
Malachi Corley
They jumped the gun on Malachi Corley, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74
Rnd3
Cade Stover
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went TE-EDGE with Cade Stover while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots sat open.
Pick113
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
A clean, defensible pick in slot 113 with a little surplus value in Cole Bishop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick116
Rnd4
Andru Phillips
They paid sticker price for Andru Phillips in No. 116, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick142
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
No drama and no debate, Justin Eboigbe went about where he belonged in the 142nd overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick147
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the Round 5 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick196
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Frank Gore Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232
Rnd7
KT Leveston
KT Leveston in pick No. 232 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
