Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Falcons left with their quarterback, and a D to match.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Falcons shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Put together, it is a D.

So much rides on Jayden Daniels that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They will need Gore Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 8 they get a passer to set the clock by. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in slot 44 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick57 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in No. 57 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Nice patience on Javon Bullard, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
No drama and no debate, Michael Hall Jr. went about where he belonged in the 88th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at Round 4, Pick 9 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick112 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Matt Goncalves at pick 112 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick145 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keith Randolph Jr.. The roster fit checks out.
Pick150 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
A reach on Frank Gore Jr. in the 150th pick; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick201 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
A slide stopped in No. 201, with Isaiah Williams worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
Fair-plus on Trevor Keegan, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
