Davis Mattek is in on Branch as a draft target due to a clear target vacuum in the Falcons offense. Branch is positioned as a quick, explosive receiver (5'8", 177 lbs) who will have to "mess up to not be on the field" given the role opportunity.

Davis Mattek has extremely high conviction on Branch, stating 'I can't lie, the Zachariah Branch clips got me drafting. I love Zachariah Branch. Zachariah Branch is one of my most drafted guys overall.' Mattek projects Branch to receive approximately 35 short area targets from QB Tua Tagovailoa, describing this target volume as 'so evident' and inevitable ('bazillion screen passes'), indicating strong confidence in Branch's role and production upside.
