Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Daniels is the plan now, and the Falcons grade out a B.

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. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They banked enough surplus on Franklin to cover a lot of smaller sins. If Eboigbe pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a passer to set the clock by. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Brian Thomas Jr. at pick 43 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74 Rnd3 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in the 74th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Value with a capital V on Kiran Amegadjie in No. 79, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They reached a country mile for Justin Eboigbe at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
By-the-book stuff, Jarrian Jones at pick No. 142 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick199 Rnd6 Mason McCormick
They barely believed it either: Mason McCormick still on the board at slot 199. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
