Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesF FutureC
Daniels is the plan now, and the Falcons grade out a D-.

Somebody took the Falcons to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

They have staked the next five years on Jayden Daniels, which is the only story that really matters here. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Jones pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Driskell falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 3 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They took Kris Jenkins at par in pick 43, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
They paid sticker price for Jalen McMillan in slot 74, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 9 with a little surplus value in Khyree Jackson. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick145 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
No edge and no loss on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick189 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A conviction pick on Christian Jones at No. 189 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick201 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell at the 201st overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
