Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons bet the future on Penix Jr.. The board says B-.

The Justin Eboigbe selection is the head-turner. The Falcons reached 122 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Whatever Michael Penix Jr. becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Mayes.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In No. 8 they get the arm they will build around. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
They jumped the gun on Jonah Elliss, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick72 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 T.J. Sanders
A wild overpay on T.J. Sanders in pick 108, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145 Rnd5 Devontez Walker
A straight-up fair deal on Devontez Walker at slot 145, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick186 Rnd6 BJ Mayes
They read the board right and BJ Mayes was the payoff at pick No. 186. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick202 Rnd6 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter in pick 202 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick229 Rnd7 Justin Eboigbe
A big swing on Justin Eboigbe at the 229th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
Rasheen Ali slipping to slot 245 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
