Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Falcons a B.

There is reaching, and then there is Jamaree Caldwell at the 253rd pick. The Falcons jumped the board by 79 and dared it to prove them wrong. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the 15th overall pick they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Nice patience on Xavier Watts, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick86 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo slipping to pick 86 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117 Rnd4 Savion Williams
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 117 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
A reach on Cam Jackson in Round 6, Pick 37; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jack Kiser in pick No. 220. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick244 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at slot 244 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at the 253rd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
