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

The search is over. The Falcons handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Landing Jackson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a franchise quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Braswell. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in No. 74 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick79 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at pick No. 79 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in pick 110 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick142 Rnd5 Michael Pratt
They did well to land Michael Pratt in the 142nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 199th pick is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
