Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons found their guy under center in Maye: B.

The Falcons spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

That Wiley pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 8th pick they get a passer to set the clock by. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Somehow Troy Franklin was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at pick No. 74 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Nice patience on Tyler Davis, who had no business lasting to the 109th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
You do not let a cornerback like Jarrian Jones reach pick 145 and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick189 Rnd6 Grayson Murphy
A edge rusher of that caliber at No. 189 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
A quiet steal in Round 6, Pick 26: Julian Pearl for less than the market said. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick244 Rnd7 Michael Wiley
Taking Michael Wiley in slot 244 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
