Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Daniels in the fold, and a B for the Falcons.

Start where it matters. The Falcons took Jayden Daniels to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. With offensive lineman, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

The Hall reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Getting Lassiter where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the offensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 8 they get their guy under center for the next decade. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kamari Lassiter in Round 2, Pick 24. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at pick 74 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick79 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Khyree Jackson while clear needs at offensive lineman, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick87 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Mike Sainristil adds a cornerback and leaves offensive lineman, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Nothing to complain about; Cole Bishop went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick143 Rnd5 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt at the 143rd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Johnny Dixon
They paid up for Johnny Dixon at the 174th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick197 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
