Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons left with their quarterback, and a B to match.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Falcons' quarterback, full stop.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Speights. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want. The Hall Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get the arm they will build around. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A reach for Michael Hall Jr. in slot 74; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A conviction pick on Darius Robinson at the 110th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick142 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Nothing to complain about; Cam Hart went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick189 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten is a better player than pick No. 189 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick201 Rnd6 Javon Baker
Value with a capital V on Javon Baker in the 201st pick, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 Omar Speights
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 241 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
