Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons bet the future on Penix Jr.. The board says B.

Start where it matters. The Falcons took Michael Penix Jr. to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

For all the activity, offensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Mitchell falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell in the 41st pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer at Round 3, Pick 9 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They paid sticker price for Brenden Rice in pick No. 109, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
