Draft Grade — Falcons
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Falcons.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Falcons did exactly that with Jalen McLeod in pick No. 118. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Edwards value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman. Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
By-the-book stuff, Mykel Williams at the 15th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick46 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in Round 2, Pick 14 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jalen McLeod
A real head-scratcher, Jalen McLeod in No. 118 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick218 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Taking Donovan Edwards in the 218th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick242 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams slipping to the Round 7 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
