Positive signalValue

79th pick: 81 catches, 811 yards; 62 screen routes (NCAA-high); dynamic YAC threat

Branch was selected 79th overall in the third round of the 2025 draft by the Falcons. The source identifies him as an underrated draft pick, noting that he caught 81 passes on 93 targets for 811 yards and six touchdowns at Georgia despite being 5'8⅝" and 177 pounds. Branch ran the most screen routes in the NCAA last season with 62, and despite his size, played 20% of his snaps on the outside. His 4.35-second 40-yard dash speed and ability to create after the catch position him as a dynamic weapon that fits the Falcons' offensive system.
