Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA-
A passer of the future in Daniels, and a A-, for the Falcons.

The Falcons spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

They will need Randolph Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. However the rest shakes out, Tampa at that price is a win they earned.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 9 they get a long-term answer under center. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, T.J. Tampa in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick116 Rnd4 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at the 116th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick142 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in pick 142 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick189 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at No. 189 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick201 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Javon Baker in the 201st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick241 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
The board fumbled Darius Muasau all the way to slot 241, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
