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

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Falcons spent their marquee pick on Jayden Daniels, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

However the rest shakes out, Ulofoshio at that price is a win they earned. Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
No drama and no debate, Jayden Daniels went about where he belonged in No. 8. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick43 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
A quiet steal in pick No. 43: Ladd McConkey for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in slot 74 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 9 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick145 Rnd5 Austin Booker
A reach for Austin Booker in the 145th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio in the 189th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Gabe Hall. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
They went early on Xavier Thomas in pick 244, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
