Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Penix Jr. is the Falcons' new face under center. Grade: B.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Falcons spent their marquee pick on Michael Penix Jr., and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

However the rest shakes out, Ceaser at that price is a win they earned. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In slot 9 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
They took Troy Fautanu at par in Round 2, Pick 9, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
A clean, defensible pick in the 73rd overall pick with a little surplus value in Leonard Taylor III. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A straight-up fair deal on Tommy Eichenberg at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick146 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
They read the board right and Shemar Turner was the payoff at the 146th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III at pick No. 187 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at No. 206 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230 Rnd7 Steve Linton
They will replay Steve Linton at pick 230 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249 Rnd7 Nelson Ceaser
They barely believed it either: Nelson Ceaser still on the board at No. 249. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
