Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB+
The Falcons found their guy under center in Daniels: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Keon Coleman slide, and the Falcons were the ones holding the card at slot 96. Highway robbery.

Jayden Daniels is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. Spending an early pick on cornerback with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They will need Bortolini to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 9th overall pick they get a long-term answer under center. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold in slot 43 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick78 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 14 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in the 96th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
They barely believed it either: Dominick Puni still on the board at the Round 4 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Cam Hart in pick No. 119 leaves interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots for later.
Pick142 Rnd5 James Williams
They will replay James Williams at the 142nd overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick199 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at pick 199 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
