Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Daniels, and a B, for the Falcons.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Falcons' quarterback, full stop.

Restrepo falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In slot 8 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey at the 43rd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
They read the board right and Javon Bullard was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 10. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick109 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A reasonable price with a little left over, Blake Fisher in pick No. 109. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at No. 145 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick189 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick201 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
No edge and no loss on T.J. Sanders in pick 201; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick244 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at the 244th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
