Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
A passer of the future in Daniels, and a B+, for the Falcons.

Start where it matters. The Falcons took Jayden Daniels to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

Reaching for Jones left real value on the table behind him. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

The Foster steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 9 they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin slipping to No. 39 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick43 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in the 43rd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick74 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 74th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
A reach on Marshawn Kneeland in slot 94; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in pick 110 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick145 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at Round 5, Pick 9 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jayson Jones
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jayson Jones. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
