Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Falcons: C+.

The Falcons bet big and early on Squirrel White, 177 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

If Austin Barber and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Austin Barber
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Austin Barber well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
By-the-book stuff, Zakee Wheatley at pick No. 79 squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick114 Rnd4 Josiah Trotter
They barely believed it either: Josiah Trotter still on the board at slot 114. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
Steal is underselling it; Ted Hurst at pick 197 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick231 Rnd7 Squirrel White
They reached into another round for Squirrel White, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
