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

The Falcons looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jase McClellan at the Round 6 slot regardless, 31 picks early. Put together, it is a D.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. So much rides on Jayden Daniels that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him.

They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Thomas Jr..

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get the face of the franchise. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
The board had Brian Thomas Jr. higher than No. 43, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No edge and no loss on Chris Braswell in pick 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick74 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
They did well to land Brandon Dorlus in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at the 110th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They talked themselves into Jared Wiley at slot 189, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
They reached into another round for Jase McClellan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jontrey Hunter
Jontrey Hunter at pick 241 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
