Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Falcons finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B+.

The Falcons spent the pick that matters most on Michael Penix Jr., and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. However the rest shakes out, Speights at that price is a win they earned.

The Restrepo pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in the 50th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick74 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick 74 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at the 97th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in slot 109 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick140 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
Sincere Haynesworth at No. 140 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
No edge and no loss on Jaylin Simpson in Round 5, Pick 9; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick189 Rnd6 Trey Knox
Trey Knox in pick No. 189 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick205 Rnd6 Xavier Restrepo
A big swing on Xavier Restrepo at pick No. 205, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
A premium they did not need to pay, Maurice Smith a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Omar Speights in slot 227 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick248 Rnd7 Willie Roberts
They took Willie Roberts at par in Round 7, Pick 28, which is nothing to complain about. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
