Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons answered their biggest question with Daniels. Grade: B.

The search is over. The Falcons handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

The cost of the Capehart reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. That Williams pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 8th pick they get a franchise quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss in the 43rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
A premium they did not need to pay, Roman Wilson a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick No. 109 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick145 Rnd5 James Williams
Value with a capital V on James Williams in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
By-the-book stuff, Jaylen Harrell at pick 189 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick201 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Christian Jones in slot 201. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick244 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in No. 244 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
