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

The Falcons spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

That Simpson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

Cole has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 8th overall pick they get their quarterback of the future. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell slipping to Round 2, Pick 11 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
The board had T'Vondre Sweat higher than the Round 3 slot, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Kamari Lassiter
Steal is underselling it; Kamari Lassiter at pick 79 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick80 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
They took Brandon Dorlus at par in No. 80, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick143 Rnd5 Myles Cole
A reach for Myles Cole in the 143rd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at slot 187 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in pick No. 197 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
