Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

The Rondell Bothroyd pick is the one that will follow the Falcons into the fall. They took him 75 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Whatever Jayden Daniels becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The Cooper pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Worthy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 10, where Edgerrin Cooper graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A reach for Tommy Eichenberg in the 109th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick145 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at No. 145 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick189 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at pick No. 189 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick201 Rnd6 Rondell Bothroyd
They talked themselves into Rondell Bothroyd at No. 201, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
They went early on Trey Wedig in pick 244, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
