Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Falcons let Slaughter fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jake Slaughter slide, and the Falcons were the ones holding the card at slot 79. Highway robbery.

The Davis pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
They took D'Angelo Ponds at par in slot 48, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Slaughter in No. 79, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Tacario Davis in pick No. 114 leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick197 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister in the 197th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick231 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Raylen Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
