Overall B

ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-

The Falcons finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Falcons spent their marquee pick on Jayden Daniels, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

They are betting Robinson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Burke at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick10 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels

Jayden Daniels at the 10th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.

Pick42 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.

They liked Brian Thomas Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 42. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.

Pick74 Rnd3 Denzel Burke

Denzel Burke in pick 74 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.

Pick110 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy

Gabriel Murphy in Round 4, Pick 10 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.

Pick147 Rnd5 Darius Robinson

They left a pile of value on the table to take Darius Robinson this early at slot 147. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
