Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Falcons: C+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jared Wilson; the Falcons did not wait, grabbing him 94 spots ahead at pick 116. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
They paid sticker price for Jalon Walker in pick No. 17, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick46 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
This one needs a full-page explanation: Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 46th pick, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Value said wait; Jared Wilson in Round 4, Pick 15 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
A real head-scratcher, Cobee Bryant in the 117th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick242 Rnd7 Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
