Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureA-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Falcons: B.

Some picks age like wine; Haynes King at slot 255 will need to, sitting 60 spots clear of his grade.

The Scott value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick82 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Taking Keionte Scott in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84 Rnd3 Keylan Rutledge
The board had Keylan Rutledge higher than pick No. 84, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick122 Rnd4 Trey Zuhn III
By-the-book stuff, Trey Zuhn III at No. 122 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Bryson Eason
A reach for Bryson Eason in slot 215; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jadon Canady
A tidy bit of business in the 231st overall pick, where Jadon Canady graded well above the range. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick235 Rnd7 Aiden Fisher
They took Aiden Fisher at par in the 235th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci in the 236th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Haynes King
Haynes King in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
