Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Falcons this weekend: D-.

The Falcons went off the board in a big way for Oronde Gadsden II, 51 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Getting Mukuba where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick 16 they get a double-digit-sack hope. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at slot 47 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick81 Rnd3 Oronde Gadsden II
They left a pile of value on the table to take Oronde Gadsden II this early at the 81st pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in No. 117 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick118 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ozzy Trapilo well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Aydan White
Value said wait; Aydan White in the 234th overall pick says they were not listening. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
