Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB
Good, not great, for the Falcons: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint tumbling to the Falcons in pick 189 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Every board in the league had Cole lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value.
Pick43 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on J.J. McCarthy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick74 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
No edge and no loss on Christian Haynes in No. 74; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in pick 112 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145 Rnd5 Kris Abrams-Draine
The board fumbled Kris Abrams-Draine all the way to Round 5, Pick 9, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick189 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the 189th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick190 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 190, where Ethan Driskell graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick200 Rnd6 Myles Cole
Myles Cole at slot 200 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick201 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at the 201st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick234 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
The board had Zakhari Franklin higher than No. 234, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick244 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune at the 244th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
